Yes, and I guess, it's just a sign that I'm a pessimist
 But life is limited if time is how you measure it
 Nobody's innocent, let's quit pretending such
 Just let it finish up so this message can self-destruct
 And I don't know my high from low anymore
 I'm just trying to do my best
 Trying not to get carried off the floor
 Climb down the fire escape and throw the mask in the trash
 We drowning in a tidal wave from a bath tub splash
 And when they finally try to harvest a colony
 It's probably when everybody is around an olive tree
 It's likely gonna be too late to crown a hero
 But we can make a statement making party at Ground Zero
 And I can do this to ya all night long
 But I, no matter what, I'd still be doing ya wrong
 And when I'm strong enough to break out of my eggshell
 I wanna hear the ladies yell like I've aged well
 We fought ourselves we think we won
 We taught ourselves to reach the sun
 Took a chance going against the odds
 We don't die, we won't even stop, Watch
 If you don't stop then you won't get caught
 If you don't stop then you won't get caught
 If you don't stop then you won't get caught
 If you don't stop then you won't get caught
 And now I
 Now I believe I've got the right of way
 To make a brighter day
 Instead of wasting life away
 Waiting for lights to change
 You not seeing me
 I'm swallowed by the scenery
 Camouflage my injuries
 Channel all my energies
 I leave room for the lens to shift
 Should've predicted or presumed that you'd be sensitive
 But every story needs a conflict, a narssis
 I can't find a fuck to present you with
 And baby it's the same song whole world singing it
 Some of us just humming along some of us really bringin' it
 And if it fires up a fraction of the sleeping giant
 May we live long enough to see the times that redefine it
 And I'm certain all that pain is for a purpose
 Makes no difference whose the first
 one to write their name up on the surface
 Some day your work will find its way to get observed
 It's just there's too many words and nobody's getting heard
 We fought ourselves we think we won
 We taught ourselves to reach the sun
 Took a chance going against the odds
 We don't die, we won't even stop, watch
 If you don't stop then you won't get caught
 If you don't stop then you won't get caught
 If you don't stop then you won't get caught
 If you don't stop then you won't get caught
 If you don't stop then you won't get caught
 If you don't stop then you won't get caught
 If you don't stop then you won't get caught
 If you don't stop
