this one's for you kid.
::dedication of the fucking day::
...i'm off work, fucking right doggy!
"soPhoMore sLuMp Or cOmeBaCk oF The yEAr?"
are we growing up or just going down?
it's just a matter of time until we're all found out
take our tears and put them on ice
cause i swear i'd burn this city down to show you the light
we're the therapists pumping through your speakers
delivering just what you need
we're well read and poised
we're the best boys
we're the chemists who've found the formula
to make your heart swell and burst
no matter what they say, don't believe a word
cause i'll keep singing this lie if you'll keep believing it
i'll keep singing this lie
i'll keep singing this lie
are we growing up or just going down?
it's just a matter of time until we're all found out
take our tears and put them on ice
cause i swear i'd burn this city down to show you the light
we're traveled like gypsies
only with worse luck and far less gold
we're the kids you used to love
but then we grew old
we're the lifers here till the bitter end
condemned from the start
ashamed of the way
the songs and the words own the beating of our hearts
cause i'll keep singing this lie
i'll keep singing this lie
are we growing up or just going down?
it's just a matter of time until we're all found out
take our tears and put them on ice
cause i swear i'd burn this city down to show you the light
there's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
and there's another around to help us bend your trust
i've got a sunset in my veins
and i need to take a pill to make this town feel okay
the best part of "beLIEve" is the "LIE",
i hope you sing along and you steal a line
i need to keep you like this in my mind
so give in or just give up
are we growing up or just going down?
are we growing up or just going down?
it's just a matter of time until we're all found out
take our tears and put them on ice
cause i swear i'd burn this city down to show you the light
"i'Ee gOt a dArk AllEy aND a bAd iDeA thAt sAys yOU shOulD sHUt yOur mOuTh!"
joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "best friends"*
we're the kids who feel like dead ends
and i want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
i took a shot and didn't even come close
at trust and love and hope
and the poets are just kids who didn't make it
and never had it at all
and the record won't stop skipping
and the lies just won't stop slipping
and besides my reputation's on the line
we can fake it for the airwaves
force our smiles, baby, half dead
from comparing myself to everyone else around me
please put the doctor on the phone 'cause i'm not making any sense
blame everyone but me for this mess
and my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
we never seemed so far
i'm hopelessly hopeful, that you're just hopeless enough
but we never had it at all
and the record won't stop skipping
and the lies just won't stop slipping
and besides my reputation's on the line
we can fake it for the airwaves
force our smiles, baby, half dead
from comparing myself to everyone else around me
to everyone else around me
everyone else around me
everyone else around me
