this world that we cant rise above
oh why god, why
why do you give us pain, why
we love you god
please god
save us from ourselves
trade us like cards for the devil
and please god, please, throw away the shovel
do you see what I see
right there, on this page
the blackness that creeps
oh no, oh no, run away
Run away, run away
What did we do that was so bad
that we have all this, this crap
before our feet upon our shoulders
needless wars and whatnot
the years we suffer, our insecurities
people dying from suicide, rotting away
alone in their graves, so far away
from the light and warmth of day
and we run away, we run away from the truth
the awful, god forsaken truth
that everything isn't the way we want it
Do you see what I see
right here everyday
Blackness is creeping up on us
oh no, oh no, run away
run away, run away
Nobody wants the truth, but what is it
What is the truth that we don't want
everywhere that we deny, we're lost
so forsaken and left in the dust
of another emo song lyric, fading away
so very far away
from ourselves, from our lives
we hide it all so we can live
the daily struggle of those less fortunate
and so we continue
and so we continue...
to live with a lack of a life
Do you see what I see
I see it everywhere, everday
this blackness that won't go away
our lies, our sins, our unforgiven
oh no, oh no, run away now
run away, run away
Run away from the stain
