lyrics

What did we do to deserve this?
A cruel fate for a beautiful soul
It's like life's framework collapses each year that we grow older

And we're left to build it back up
with calloused fingers, broken hands.
and we made god in our image,
just to shoot him in the head.

How many blows can this building take?
Nothing but holes, yet still it holds.
The death and the sickness,
The government's gone to bed,

The sun is shining bright,
and still I kinda wanna die,
cause a world without you is no world at all.

Now the house is caving in, and the tumor lays in wait,
the existential dread, the love and the hate,
the bitterness sets in, and the joy subsides
that's just life, is that right?

So we'll cling to it, like wet leaves on the pavement.
We were always waiting for the shoe to drop,
Here it is.
