The stars have all died at once but this light still shines bright amonst them what's the point in all of this? all this fucking shit all our lives are lived in vain this is our great escape, it feels like a fucking mistake We've thrown out our father's gods but you just traded yours in for another all the hate that you've kept will surely die with her all beliefs will go as flesh this is your great escape, looks like a fucking mistake we are not the same but we'll all die anyway

Who are we living our lives for? Same question every six months or so. When nothing you ever do ever seems to last (will it ever last?x2) Sure it's not your fault, but what does that matter? (it sure won't change a goddamn thing) you can't have control over everything in life (that's the beauty here, you just can't see it now) just remember why you left, and why you said you'd never leave (our reasons are more than just words) So you're drowning in the ocean We all get lost sometimes at sea don't worry about how, we're gonna make it out just be happy we're floating free if you learn one thing in life it's that something always goes wrong (they say life's a journey, they aren't fucking kidding) that's why we medicate, while some others pray (what the hell we say, whatever works) just don't let yourself be fooled, it's not better that way (no matter what they say, just find your own way) we just decided to be ourselves and swore that's all we'd ever be (this is all, we'll ever be!) So you're drowning in the ocean We all get lost sometimes at sea don't worry about how, we're gonna make it out just be happy we're floating free

Sometimes the only faith I find lies in a bastard's words shouted through shredded vocal cords torn by whiskey, gravel, and smoke but at least tonight, I know i'm not alone. I never really listened to the words my father said "go to work, go to church, you'll end up ahead." I never really understood what they were trying to save me from I knew I was lost the first time I heard that sound. Sometimes the only faith I find lies in a bastard's words shouted through shredded vocal cords torn by whiskey, gravel, and smoke but at least tonight, I know i'm not alone. We spent so many nights entertained with ghost stories Pretended witnesses to something we all hoped to see But from the bottom of my heart I hope that you'll recognize this song could have been written without you around. Sometimes the only faith I find lies in a bastard's words shouted through shredded vocal cords torn by whiskey, gravel, and smoke but at least tonight, I know i'm not alone. No I'm not alone, this rambling road could one day become our home If we could find the strength inside to simply let this bullshit go.

How is it that you let us be born in this? You've got us working jobs we hate for shit we don't need. A rush to the finish so we can start again but before we know, we're all covered in dirt We don't believe because nothing that we've ever seen has made us feel safe. the cracks are breaking to let more people through it's about time that we wonder out loud that we never had a chance to make something of ourselves in this world that you left for us that we didn't want and you, you knew it all along. So we don't believe because nothing that we've ever seen has made us feel safe.

i've been keeping secrets of where i go at night after you've gone to sleep tucked away in your dreams i leave this place for somewhere dark a place i'm scared for you to see but i'm not getting any better so i decided to come clean we lay in bed all night with tears streaming down my eyes thinking about the day that one of us will die i'm happy we said forever but forever isn't long enough and as hard as i fucking try these thoughts won't leave my head then the morning comes my mind fills with an ancient comfort we can actually laugh about it "how crazy they must have been" but we go our separate ways a goodbye sealed with a kiss a promise we'll both be missed and hopefully we'll return we lay in bed all night with tears streaming down my eyes thinking about the day that one of us will die i'm happy we said forever but forever isn't long enough if there's no heaven then there's no hell but what does that mean for us? what makes a couple decide tonight's the night? they left a note "please don't tell the kids" that their last loving memory is sitting in the car turning up the radio and listening to their song we lay in bed all night with tears streaming down my eyes thinking about the day that one of us will die i'm happy we said forever but forever isn't long enough and if you should happen to go first i'll pray there's a god to help me please god, help me
