lyrics

Deep breath, you’ve only seconds left
Feel the pressure building in your chest
As your lungs explode
You’ll say you did your best
To try and spread the word
Feels like no one’s ever really heard the things you’ve learned
You’ve failed them
Go and try to make things right
Even if you lose your friends tonight
You may finally get some sleep
Because you tried to save them from themselves
It’s easy just to be somebody else
Never working up the nerve to ask for help

What’s wrong with the world today
Feels like our faith is wearing away
What’s wrong with the world today
We’re capsized in the lies that kept us safe
What’s wrong with the world today
We fall till it all gets taken away
We fight, we quit, we are the hypocrites

Breath in, a chance to sink or swim
Feel the pressure building in your skin
As you fall asleep you’ll say they did you in
With all the pain they caused
Subtlety in words can lead to flaws
You will find that in your sleep you let them fall

What’s wrong with the world today
Feels like our faith is wearing away
What’s wrong with the world today
We’re capsized in the lies that kept us safe
What’s wrong with the world today
We fall till it all gets taken away
We fight, we quit, we are the hypocrites

And I’ve been caught in the undertow
Of this life but this life is all we know
It’s the frontline, it’s the battleground
For the things we left behind
And I don’t know how to get through
But I know there must be
Something that we missed
We will not last alone
