In the choir we can forget Forgive ourselves and maybe get some sleep Every morning we make choices To kill ourselves for someone else's dream We try to make our own inventions But we stop trying when these hills look too steep Every morning we make choices To kill ourselves 'cause we can't even dream, anymore
The clock says it's two a.m. We wake up at four
In the choir we can forget Turn out the lights and think of how we sleep If we just get off all these fixtures Furniture, powered in the streets
Stop paying rent, don't go to work, Move to a new town and change your name Buy a new car, watch different films, Read different books, but you laugh the same
The towns we lived in A distant memory Burned your own house down When you were seventeen
The towns we lived in A distant memory Burned your own house down When you were seventeen
Aspirations in the rubble of the front door Swinging like a wrecking ball Travel right on through the floor Tied up in a basement, next to classes to forget All those stupid dreams that fall behind The college degrees that you buy, anymore
The clock says it's two a.m. We wake up at four We just can't dream anymore
