[Verse 1]

I want to believe in something real

Do I get down on my knees?

Do I climb these fucking walls?

There is nothing sacred here that I can see

'Cause no one's innocent in their own war

As the city holds our secrets deep


[Pre-Chorus]

Now the poison neon burns our eyes

We got one broken headlight


[Chorus]

I'm so sick and tired of me and you

Everybody's dancing for applause

When the song is how we rise above

Screams they echo through these city lights

Havе you seen the Holy Ghost?

Heard him say he lovеs you most


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 2]

There's something about this place that reminds me

Of the way we used to be

When the stars would fall for us

We're just photographs in broken glass

Of a love we could not frame

For a portrait we won't ever see


[Chorus]

I'm so sick and tired of me and you

Everybody's dancing for applause

When the song is how we rise above

Screams they echo through these city lights

Have you seen the Holy Ghost?

Heard him say he loves you most


[Post-Chorus]

We got Discordia

We got no time to rest

We got the bombs that destroy our future

We got the last dance

We got the black death

Give me something, give me something

Surrender more than your words


[Pre-Chorus]

Now the poison neon burns our eyes

We got one broken headlight


[Bridge]

Here at the edge, we thought would never end

Just like plastic skeletons, we dance into oblivion


[Guitar Solo]


[Outro]

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

'Cause I'm so sick and tired of me and you

Everybody's dancing for applause

When the song is how we rise above
