Words misconstrued as they find themselves spoken
Sentences, phrases, they leave our lips broken
Memories sleep and are never awoken
If they open their eyes, cover them, cloak them.
The city lights mock the stars in the sky
And the good disappear behind enemy lines
Convinced we are better, convinced by our lies
We sit back and watch while everything dies.
Fill our lungs with fire and let ourselves burn
The smoke climbs higher and we never learn
Turning to ash, we’re never concerned
And as we grow older we all get our turn.
An infectious disease eats us out of our homes
But haven’t we always said that we’re best on our own?
Our fears stand by till night leaves us alone
Then they take shape, and we hate what they know.
The dust in the air leaves it hardly worth breathing
Reality shows us we’re better off dreaming
Runaway from our problems, it’s easier retreating
Let’s just close our eyes and pretend we’re not bleeding.
