lyrics

Growing up on the dusty roads
where the screen door slams and the radio plays
our favorite songs, everyone would sing along
we made it out alive by skirting all the alibis
that keep us safe and keep us in the dark

and as we bend and break we only got what we would take
and as we bend and break the damage is done-its written all over your face

Anyone can live a life but no one here can feel alive
so we sweat it out and work away the days
we do the best we can and we build up all our best defenses
to keep us safe and keep us in the dark

and as we bend and break we only got what we would take
and as we bend and break the damage is done-its written all over your face

You can't tell me to run
its far too far to run away
so much to everyone
it seems they're all one and the same
with the flame up in my bloodstream
its harder just to breathe and she said
I'm not the only one who's tried
