| A devious grin spreads ear to ear across the face of adversity
|
| These bones are rattled dry
|
| And sweat pours covering these ivory keys
|
| And from across the room, distant eyes watch the whole scene explode
|
| Like fireworks we all explode
|
| We’re running out of alcohol to fuel this fire
|
| And down the hall, the only door out of this place is locked
|
| What’s left of the billowing smoke has caught up and my lungs are dissipating
|
| But there’s no need to dry your eyes
|
| Because after all
|
| We are the ones here to blame
|
| Not saying anything, not playing this game
|
| Just now remember to forget, forget everything
|
| This room is filling up with blood I never learned to swim
|
| These walls fall to the ground
|
| The sky opens up, looking like the end for you, you motherfucker
|
| This twisted head of mine will keep me here
|
| These jaded eyes see far and wide and crystal clear
|
| Right now I’m willing to make a mistake
|
| If it means that everything will change
|
| Because I don’t breathe anymore
|
| And my escape is fucking off
|
| So tell me, how exactly did things come to this?
|
| I feel sick
|
| My hands are burning up
|
| Can you feel that heat?
|
| We are the ones here to blame
|
| Not saying anything, not playing this game
|
| Just now remember to forget, forget everything
|
| We are the ones here to blame
|
| Red faces and the promise of a tragedy
|
| These ashes blacken hands of regret, you see
|
| And so we’ve learned to watch our backs
|
| And you’re watching our swollen lungs collapse
|
| It’s the death of something so strong
|
| And we’ve made amends amidst this mess
|
| And shaken the hands of which we protest
|
| I think I’m blacking out
|
| We’ll walk this line until the day we die
|
| And wipe the sweat that for years has been stinging our eyes
|
| And for the first time I’ve come to realize |
