lyrics

think about all the things we have
think about how none of them are good
think about all the lives we led
before we got to this one

see i don’t think that we’ll ever get over
the way we were born, or the way we get older
our lives are too short for these chips on our shoulders
alright, alright

show me your heart and i’ll show you a friend and
show me you’re broken and i’ll help you mend
just come take my hand cause we’re waking the dead
tonight, oh tonight

or call me a fake and i’ll call you a liar
and you’ll call it fate, but you’re wearing a wire
ask after my bones and I’ll show you the fire
inside, inside

how does it feel
to be so fucking replaceable
i would know
i know

she asks how does it feel
to be so goddam useless
well i would know
and i know

think about all the things we have
think about how none of them are good
think about all the lives we led
before we got to this one

and maybe this life wasn’t made for the ones who
as much as they try can’t live without wanting to
get out alive, feel like I’m looking out through
the glass, the glass

and all of these feelings i have overwhelm me
the way that i am’s not the way that i wanna be
i want to stand tall but my body betrays me
and i forget

and I’ve made mistakes, and you have too
and I’ve caught some breaks and I’m sure I’ve missed a few
and I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how everything has to end
and when it does what’ll happen to me and what’ll happen to you

cause this could all end so well
but until then we just can’t tell

and i wonder if you’re alright
and i wonder if you’re ok
and i wonder if you still plan
on digging your own grave

So don’t be a stranger
no don’t just walk away
round here things have been even stranger
than the way we left that day

and i wonder if you’re alright
and i wonder if you’re ok
and i wonder if you still plan
on digging your own grave

and i wonder if you’re alright
and i wonder if you’re ok
and i wonder if you still plan
on digging your own grave

and i wonder if you’re ok
and i wonder if you’re alright
and i wonder if you still plan
on digging all night
