lyrics

We are burning the air that we choke on
 Feeding the fire with expired ideals 
Breathe out, breathe in 
This winter smells like gasoline

We’ve blended with grey walls  and painted them black to stand out
 We’ve fallen for fake calls 
Watch us all burn out.
 We are underachievers with blackened lungs too young to die 
Our clocks are ticking backwards
 We slack on borrowed time.

I am empty inside, while roads unfold at night
 I am at my ropes end and I, I don’t know where to turn 
Day out, day in 
This winter smells like gasoline

We’ve blended with grey walls and painted them black to stand out 
We’ve fallen for fake calls Watch us all burn out.
 We are underachievers with blackened lungs too young to die 
Our clocks are ticking backwards 
We slack on borrowed time.

Half hearted, I lie awake most of these days 
Singing along to songs we’ve all heard before 
Sipping my nights away, humming songs 
that were supposed to change the world.
