So you should settle down and enjoy what you have
Before you look in the mirror and just long for the past
When all you ever needed is right out your front door
See the politics and war, see the comedy and death
There’s no fighting the truth cause we all know we’re at risk
When all we ever needed to be free of the noose is take that step
Eluding us with every step when we should laugh
Never there in any moment
Why not hold on as long as we can
Till the end
Stay awake, just stay awake, just stay awake
And so you watched it burn, burned it all to the ground
Rather die in the sun than live a life underground
But what’s the point of speaking if you don’t make a sound?
You can all but hide that you’re all scared to death
We’re all looking for love but more in love with ourselves
Cause when you look to the sky do you ask it what’s next?
Eluding us with every step when we should laugh
Never there in any moment
Why not hold on as long as we can
Till the end
Please be quick
Please smile before the sky is torn
The pictures are fading
Engulfed in bleeding colors
Of the life I chose and all that could have been
Know I won’t say a word to make you hurt
No I won’t say a word
Eluding us with every step when we should laugh
Never there in any moment
Why not hold on as long as we can
Till the end
