Passion behind a crime of apathy

Writing in a notebook every single death I've had

Doesn't seem too bad on first glance

Just wait, this night'll never end

 

Smear me up a wall

Undo every single thought I have

Wish I could take my eyes out of my head

And see all thie things I've done

All the songs I've never written

My arms close to my chest

My heart in my throat

Everyting's out of place, isn't it the best?

 

We're running on a full tank of gas with nowhere to go

We're driving in cricles to make it look like we went somewhere

Seeing the same old thing back adn forth

Thinking time'll change this

Boy, were we wrong

 

Once more before tomorrow

We're on the edge holding on

This life has our hands and is ready to let go

No more last words for us

Going a million miles an hour in neutral

All they see is a person going nowhere

What they don't see (Oh, what they don't see)

We've been to the darkside of the moon and back

(Yeah, we've got this) We've got no obligation to you

We've seen God, one day, one single moment

(Forgiveness behind the flowers)

 

We've left ourselves here because

Because, because, because, because

We can

Expecting a high fallutin answer?

Well, sorry to disappoint

We've plotted our path here, why?

We can, we can, we can!

Because we can!

 

Writing in a notebook every single death I've had

Doesn't seem too bad on first glance

Just wait, this night'll never end

Writing in a notebook every single life I've lost

Doesn't it seem funny how're they're gone?

They never were that long

(Never really meant anything)

They never were that good

(Never really could)

 

Come on, gods have knelt at our feet

We've done our crime, we've done our time

Just wait, you'll see

Just you wait, we'll see to it

That you're not left behind
