you've got a promise to make me and I've heard just as much before well I could be mistaken we're just holding up a house cards and our voices are breaking and we know we're alone in this so now we just keep on faking until we just can't take it anymore shout out, three cheers let's hear it for the breakdown sing loud, and laud our passion for giving in I've laid around this place for days I never sleep, but I still keeping waking up we've got a habit of aching but I can't get it through my head it's an illusion of safety so I'll put my hope and trust in this but the words all get twisted and I'll find I'm alone again just like I never existed shout out, three cheers let's hear it for the breakdown sing loud, and laud our passion for giving in I've laid around this place for days I never sleep, but I still keeping waking up you've got a promise to make me and I've heard just as much before it's an illusion of safety we're holding up a house cards and the words just will twisted I'll find I'm alone again just like I never existed shout out, three cheers let's hear it for the breakdown sing loud, and laud our passion for giving in I've laid around this place for days I never sleep, I'm giving up I've laid around this place for days I never sleep, I just stay fucked up I've laid around this place for days I never sleep, but I still keeping waking up

let's keep it together, we're a little stronger now because we still believe in something more than giving up again because home is where the hurt is let's tear it down tonight we may not look it, but we're still alive so please don't be mistaken we left a light on, but we're never coming home we'll search for all the answers on the road we set the fire, but never burned as bright we never thought we'd make it out alive let's keep it together, we're a little stronger now friends are all we have here in this town scream no surrender, it's written on our hearts and all of this was built on our support because you can't fucking fake this we left a light on, but we're never coming home we'll search for all the answers on the road we set the fire, but never burned as bright we never thought we'd make it out alive sing this we're never coming home again we left a light on, but we're never coming home we'll search for all the answers on the road we set the fire, but never burned as bright we never thought we'd make it out alive because you can't fucking fake this

you said that you can't take this look at the scene you're making give it up, just give it up dull prose and allegory a new day but the same old story just let this go now you've wasted all your time trying to get the best of me you're mixed up and backwards, broken and scattered I won't save you now you tell me that you're breaking but you've shown me what you're made of give it up, just give it up alcohol and indiscretion part angst than part nostalgia I don't want to know now you've wasted all your time trying to get the best of me you're mixed up and backwards, broken and scattered I won't save you now save all of your breath save it so you can save yourself save it for when there is nothing left now you've wasted all your time trying to get the best of me you're mixed up and backwards, broken and scattered I won't save you now

write this off and chalk it up to things that we've been through you still can take this seriously if we're speaking truth they'll fill your head with what you want to hear and craft all of their actions just to play into your fears don't look back just let it go we choose to rise above it all not sink below so don't hold back it'll drag you down like an anchor to the bottom then you'll drown tell yourself you're bound break down pile on the abuse on this road to ruin everything you'll never see this through don't look back just let it go we choose to rise above it all not sink below so don't hold back it'll drag you down like an anchor to the bottom then you'll drown we've got to settle down and take a moment to work this out don't look back just let it go we choose to rise above it all not sink below so don't hold back it'll drag you down like an anchor to the bottom then you'll drown

3 years down the road and holding on to open wounds we try to make some kind of sense of what you had to do we'll talk about what could have been and think of things we should have said until we realize the truth was none of this is any use life chewed you up and spit you out get up keep breathing push it back don't lose it get up keep moving I know what you've been through get up keep dreaming keep moving on and there are times that things steal every fucking breath you take beat you down and bend you back until you almost break indecision, crushing doubt, nowhere left to run to now what are you supposed to do when it seems there's nothing left to lose life chewed you up and spit you out get up keep breathing push it back don't lose it get up keep moving I know what you've been through get up keep dreaming keep moving on if you feel like you're falling apart lean into me, I'll carry you on don't give up, don't give in, we stay strong for our friends life chewed you up and spit you out get up keep breathing push it back don't lose it get up if you feel like you're falling apart lean into me, I'll carry you on don't give up, don't give in, we stay strong for our friends

let's start this story out with a 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 and think back to the times that seem like only yesterday we had time to kill without much planning and self destruction seemed romantic with nothing there to get us through friends were family win or lose when dawn goes down to day you know that nothing gold can stay we came from nothing it could be that's where we belonged we searched for something that would keep us all from feeling alone you'll find comfort when you find some way to move on you think we're bluffing, but those days are already gone but we never had the chance to celebrate this moment, we're moving off and moving on we knew the answers, right or wrong content to tear this town apart devastation is all we've got when dawn goes down to day you know that nothing gold can stay we search for something now we know for sure can never return we've lost our bearings and our compass so we live what we've learned we've got no destination dawn goes down to day nothing gold can stay we came from nothing it could be that's where we belonged we searched for something that would keep us all from feeling alone you'll find comfort when you find some way to move on you think we're bluffing, but those days are already gone
