There’s not a damn thing you can do, you better brace for impact.
We’ve had enough of being powerless.
We’ve heard it all and no, we’re not impressed.
We are the nightmare that you brought to life, so don’t turn off the lights.
Speak up or they will bleed your courage dry.
No, they were never on your side.
Struck down the golden rule as if they know what’s best for you.
No sleep until they hear us.
Better pray that you’re not erased.
On your knees or you’ll be replaced.
Look at me, I’m not lookin’ for a favor, I’m just lookin’ for an axe to grind.
All hail power to the people; except you, you check the box we don’t like.
Bite your tongue ‘cause it might save your life.
Shut the door, say a prayer, hold your breath, no one’s comin’, you’re the only one left.
They all talk shit about the shape I’m in. Yeah they really don’t care.
But you’re never so gone that you can’t turn back, so go and be unpredictable.
I’m a little too dim when the moment gets bright.
Who’s it gonna be who’s the first in line? Well step right up to the firing line.
I’m on a first name basis with the afterlife.
I dug myself out of the dirt for a reason.
Life’s killed me a hundred thousand times; you can try, but the dead don’t die.
I won’t be the ending that was written for me.
It’s pretty boring, isn’t it? This existence. Might as well not take fear off the table.
You might be woke but not awake.
Pray if you need it, beg if you want it, scream if you’re for it.
Is this apocalypse now? Who let the animals out?
Who doesn’t love a parade with gasoline and grenades?
If victimhood is currency, then you won’t starve.
You’ve always been slightly awkward, kinda weird, upside down and not all here.
Sometimes I’m in a room where I don’t belong.
I’ve never been the favorite, thought I’d seen it all.
Don’t worry, it’s all just a symptom of being human.
This all seems so familiar, but it doesn’t feel like home.
We’re all just passing through, passengers on a ship of fools.
I was never one to pick a fight I couldn’t win.
Look at the secrets we keep, they terrorize me every night in my sleep.
You can be twisted but still optimistic, be the black sheep but not a statistic.
Put on a happy face, make a scene and leave a permanent trace.
Show me that rebel inside, where the leader of the revolution resides.
Careful, you might slip and never recover.
Careful, you might burn to death like the others.
Yeah, they keep changing the rules.
Because you think for yourself and you don’t need the help.
They want you to conform but it’s not in your nature.
Do you feel out of place? Well, that’s good, yeah, you should.
So wait one minute, can’t say I didn’t try.
We’ve had enough of all these pointless points of view.
It’s the end of the world, but it sure is fun.
It’s obvious that we don’t make the rules.
But check it out, the word of mouth is “The joke’s on you”.
If you’re not here to win, then why’d you play the game?
I was diagnosed with a fear of getting too close.
I’m not the only one whose life’s been pulled apart.
So here we are, all dressed to kill, where should we go?
You saved my life, make it all alright.
When I don’t feel like talking, you make sure I always see the daylight.
It’s amazing what the hard times can reveal. Like who shows up, who walks away, and who’s for real.
So take me on, I’ll take the wheel and we can both outrun the past.
We will always live forever if we don’t look back.
Not a thing wrong except you’re cutthroat.
'Cause this ain’t one for all, yeah this is groupthink.
I guess we’re on our own, ain’t that a bitch though?
Tell me the truth or tell me a lie. Tell me what I gotta say to get outta this room alive.
So tell me the truth, are you really surprised? You live in a world where empathy goes to die.
Right out of the gate, they punch me in the face, they drag me all around and tell me, “What a waste”.
I heard they’re callin’ out your number and it’s comin’ up fast.
Won’t you come out and play? I’m gonna rain on your parade.
They’re pulling at my strings, but I ain’t gonna snap.
So long, see you later, be well! Nevermind, I guess I’ll see you in hell.
We’re constantly wired, yeah, it shows.
But underneath it all, your skin might start to crawl and they know you can’t look away.
Goodbye, so long, see you later, good night. Did you get what you wanted? Is this what you wanted?
You don’t know what you’re doing, you don’t care who you ruin.
You wanna live the dream, just kill your self-esteem. Oh, what a small price to pay.
