lyrics

Everyday was a struggle
Then I thought I was free
What happened to do well and come up?
I guess it’s not meant for me
Just when I thought I could breathe
I felt the vines ensnare

I guess it’s the wrong kind of ivy
God knows I'm not getting there
So what does it take
To finally feel alive?
How long must I run in place
To feel a shred of joy?


I’m living my best life
Or so you tell me
So wrapped up in the dream that you sold me
Indiscriminately
We’ve been cast aside

Told only tall tales
Meant to keep us in line
We’ve grown sick of the lies

Work hard or starve son
Some things can’t be undone
We’ve starved once we’ll starve again
We’d rather be famished
Than fed on fallacies

Lead me between
This life and this daydream
Where I may go to rest
Or die here sleeping

Let the vines collapse
Around my larynx
My lungs can’t relax
But my hope tears in

My lungs can’t relax
But my hope tears in

At the threshold
Of a life turned upside down
We’ve been given the keys
To a burning house

So quench the fires
Or watch it burn
We’ve grown so desperate
Of the life we’ve yearned
So quench the fires
Or watch it burn

So what the fuck does it take
To finally feel alive
How long must I run in place
To feel a shred of joy
How long should I fake
To keep this alive
That eyes full of shit
Wont beg to go blind

We won’t beg!
