lyrics

you swear that this is more than just a beat that you sang over
you sing to the storm clouds that hang over
you sing to the pain, fear no hangover
you sing to the rain till the rain's over
swear that life is more than just a beat that we sing over
you sing cuz the shadows never fight fair
you sing cuz your heart thought we might care
you sing cuz your mind has a way of turning scars into nightmares
(you were gone)
thought you knew the way to go
saw it in your eyes, you were hella motivated
learnt to fall in love with things that we thought you hated
found out that you wasn't loved, you was tolerated
and like our tolerance, the shit was never coming down
and like your tolerance, our patience finally hit the ground
at least you learnt that honesty is not a bad thing
but that don't mean we wanna hear all of your bad dreams

well thank god you cared enough to help me
was that another way of saying i'm wrong

so you held on to your fear like your life depended on it
got real good at holding your breath
so you held on to your fear like your life depended on it
got real good at holding your breath
yeah you held on to their fears like their lives depended on it
got real good at holding your breath
yeah you held on to their fears like your life depended on it
you and your dreams were choking to death

so you opened up your fists
fell asleep in albany
somewhere near the hudson
the bus can wait
the bus will wait
woke up a half-hour later
and everything was the same
you just learned how to see it
