I'm always on the run From all the things I've never done But I can never escape
Fluid in my lungs I've been treading water for so damn long
You burn the books you never read Because of what you think they said
I'm not dead on arrival Though I'm up against the ropes So I'll stare into the darkness Just to see how deep it goes
Neon and silhouettes Stare at the light and not yourself Seems we don't bury our dead
We watch but we don't learn Entertained but unconcerned And unaware
You burn the books you never read Because of what you think they said
But I'm not dead on arrival Though I'm up against the ropes So I'll stare into the darkness Just to see how deep it goes
We're told to watch others live our dreams So we all sit staring at the screens The numbing warmth of the neon blue Can't give me something to hold on to
I'm not dead on arrival Though I'm up against the ropes So I'll stare into the darkness Just to see how deep it goes.
