[Verse 1]

Twiddling our thumbs as the monotony starts to drain every ounce of passion from our brains

“Welcome to the real world, you soon will see that everybody buries down their pain”

Leave us in the dust with a one two punch of the labels and the promises you fed us all

Looking back on what you said I kinda get a hunch, that you built us up like Rome to see us fall

[Pre-Chorus]

Playing pretend, praying that one day this will end

All of us already know the support’s for show, and they all let go

Maybe one day, one day

We won’t have to take our mistakes to the grave

Give your heart and your soul, down to the bone, just to fight alone

[Chorus]

So tell us

How can we keep on living life?

As every other person passes by

We cross our hearts and hope to die another million times

And if all of the effort was in vain

If nothing was ever worth the pain

We’ll try again

Until the end

[Verse 2]

Inherit a world that’s doomed to fail, nothing we can do to tip the scales

Shield your eyes from the nasty details, nothing we can do when we’re tied to the rails

Tired, uninspired, It’s down to the wire, no matter what we try it’ll always backfire

Call us all liars, throw our futures in the pyre, require the entire world to bury their desires

[Pre-Chorus]

Say it again, tell us that it's all in our heads

Have us fighting toe to toe, like a circus show, with nowhere to go

Maybe one day, one day, we won't have to put our mistakes on display

Give your heart and your soul down to bone just to prove you've grown

[Instrumental Chorus]

[Bridge]

Live a life of wasted potential

Deem all of our dreams inessential

Ask us again, ask us again

Ask us why we keep our hate confidential

“You know it's kind of sad

The passion you had was impressive

My only question’s

When did it all go bad?”

[Chorus]

So tell me

Why I should keep on living life

While every other person passes by

I’ll cross my heart and hope to die another million times

And if all of the effort was in vain

If nothing was ever worth the pain

We'll sit and obey just to get thrown away

So tell us

How can we keep on living life?

As every other person passes by

We cross our hearts and hope to die another million times

And if all of the effort was in vain

If nothing was ever worth the pain

We’ll close our eyes

Breathe out a sigh

Too weak to wish

This world goodbye
