My friends and I know how to live
Staying up for days on end
Barely making it past the **** life can give
I think we clean up nicely all the same

My friends and I know what's up
Sleeping through class, dodging deadlines
Can't pay our rent but we fill our cup
Raise a glass to the ones insane

My friends and I are family
Saving me every Gotdamn day
In the dark of storms the light I see
Giving each other our unneeded shame

My friends and I have seen tragedy
Felt the sting of lives ripped away
What we do to ourselves to escape the apathy
Hard to accept, but we can't be to blame

My friends and I are one of a kind
Doing what we need to get by
Wishing precious time away, looking for rewind
Souls in distress finally tame
