you did it
you won it
you don't deserve it but you don't care as long as you got it
you got it
you got it
you got it
you got it
you

if
you only knew
all of the things
they planned to do
to you
tubes
tied to the wall
pretend we don't hear
the screams down the hall
at all
still
i should've known
nobody's home
i'm on my own
cold
look in his eyes
fills me with fear
and soon makes you cry
still
i should've known
nobody's home
we're on our own
one more time
get it right
don't you know
that it's my life
it's mine
yours is fine
but you're not listening
to the words i say
no
to my worried eyes
no
now it's all the time
all the time
all the time

every time i try to go
everyone, they tell me "no"
people tell me to say
"don't you go far away, please
stay with me"
every time i make you cry
good intentions gone awry
hurry up, settle down
no need to show
what you know
what you know
don't you know
i can tell you're not like me
nothing we could not foresee
looking for other ways
jaded by lazy days
tidal waves, aeroplanes
apathy fills our veins
don't you know people see
exactly what they believe
me to be

i'm going underground
tall buildings make me frown
give me a quiet town
i don't want people always chasing me 'round
city bringing me down
i know i'm getting out
maybe we'll talk about
i'm not believing how
there's no relief, there's no escaping the now
city bringing me down
never trust the shadows, they don't act like they should
you know their feelings seem deceiving 'cause they're up to no good
i must've smiled a thousand times but no one here understood
it's no good
it's going to stifle your life, it's no good
i always wondered how
8 million people sound
i thought it'd be profound
turns out it's just a bunch of banging around
city bringing me down
never trust the shadows, they don't act like they should
you know their feelings seem deceiving 'cause they're up to no good
i'm gonna sleep until my time is up (i wish that i could)
it's no good
it's going to stifle your life, it's no good
i'm going underground
tall buildings make me frown
give me a quiet town
so i can say that i am, without a doubt,
city free; i'm without
never trust the shadows, they don't act like they should
you know their feelings seem deceiving 'cause they're up to no good
i must've smiled a thousand times but no one here understood
it's no good
it's going to stifle your life, it's no good

when i was younger, i couldn't tell
better than anyone else
i never thought i would think about
but then i tripped and i fell
i never thought we would figure out
why the hell we are here
but then i realized that we could all disappear
are we just dreaming?
is this a story?
to many others
have come before me
and never bothered
to ponder farther
they never wondered
if it's real
we could be an experiment
i heard we came from above
i heard we might be an accident
capable of love
i never thought i would think about
something so austere
but then i realized that we could all disappear
are we just dreaming?
is this a story?
to many others
have come before me
and never bothered
to ponder farther
they never wondered
if it's real

inside is the only way to get it off your mind when it has caused you pain
inside everyone there's something that defines us; inside, there's a brand new way
withdrawn, like a big decision
but they didn't listen
and i know she's missing
everyone, i'll
end up like a cold collision
it's a lonely mission
but they didn't listen
outside, where the blind can follow anyone who's deaf and everyone agrees
outside, it's not hard to find out it's a mean old world when everyone has greed
withdrawn, like a big decision
but they didn't listen
and i know she's missing
everyone, i'll
end up like a cold collision
it's a lonely mission
but they didn't listen
but they didn't listen
but they didn't listen
but they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listenbut they didn't listen

these old walls can't hold us all
overflow like urban sprawl
we all went our separate ways
hypnotized by days of blazes
even though we know that they're above
leave them all alone if they're in love
