lyrics

Turn off the phone turn off the television,
It will turn you sour inside out,
Don’t think about the things you could have done,
Just think of all that you could do

Are we doing something wrong again,
I don’t know,
Falling backwards chasing after them,
They won’t tell us so,
Slipping deeper to the background,
I won’t go,
I won’t lose it all

Why do you want to be alone,
It hurts my head to think what you could be
And in the end I know it’s just a game,
But ask yourself,
Are we gonna win,
Or lose

Take off your skin it never suited you,
Without a face you’ll be just fine,
People they might not remember you,
We’re speeding up the job of time

Are we doing something wrong again,
I don’t know,
Falling backwards chasing after them,
They won’t tell us so,
Slipping deeper to the background,
I won’t go,
I won’t lose it all

Why do you want to be alone,
It hurts my head to think what you could be
And in the end I know it’s just a game,
But ask yourself

People laughing that’s what it’s all about,
I can see them without a shadow of a doubt,
They don’t want me and that is alright,
I could die here happy or try put up a fight
