Verse:
Stuck in time again
No one knows how to break free
But then again nobody even asked for this
I woke up blind again
But I don’t need these eyes to see
You see the only thing in front of me is why I need to leave
Pre Chorus:
So cover your ears
I don’t think you’ll want to hear this
Chorus:
We’re all gonna die
I know it might come as a shock
When the people at the bottom feed the people at the top
They call for suicide
Just a hundred thousand more
So put the money in the pockets of the end of the world
Verse 2:
I felt the forests burn
From halfway across the sea
There’s no metaphor here I just swear that I could feel the heat
I saw the numbers rise
With no souls attached to them
I guess without the proper payment even god won’t let them in
Chorus x2

Verse:
Keep all the lights on me
As I toss and turn you never let me sleep
Another sheep to count these shepherds doubt and never trust in me
I guess I feel uncertain
I guess I’ll have to wait and see
If I pull back the curtain
Will there be anything left to believe
Chorus:
Cause I’ve flown close to the sun
Too many times
And when my wings burned through
I made yours mine
Verse 2:
Just keep away from me
I stay too sick contagions all I bring
Lock me in quarantine
Then bury me when my pockets are clean
I guess I feel pathetic
Like you said hand over your teeth
Never too sympathetic
But I think that’s exactly what I need
What I need
Chorus
Bridge:
Burn me up
Let the sunrise give me what I want
So nonchalant you burn me up
And left me falling miles from the oceanfront
Chorus x4

Verse:
I’m just an actor just a fraud you aren’t the only one
To cover cuts and lay excuses on your tongue
You fill the gaps in your story with a loaded gun
But every night that passes never means a good day done
Chorus:
They’re always questioning me
Asking why
You never look to the lights
You’re backwards and twisted they say
Every time
You never look to the lights
Verse 2:
Chisel the aspects of your life you think are set in stone
Misery needs company but somehow I still feel alone
And I can’t even feel welcome when I visit home
It’s my gift to make sure you’ll never know
Chorus
Bridge:
All these wolves with wool around their waist
Still howling at the moon
Like all the bitter smoky air they taste it won’t affect me too
I try to be so blunt
But words are sharp and cold
And I can’t stitch the wounds
From every lie I’ve told
Chorus x2
