We have started something that we surely can't take back Every day decaying faster than our last We are so afraid that we'll become the things we hate It's easier to sleep than to awake We came into this world never knowing we'd want out From our first sunrise to these dark skies We have only been let down We have only been let down Now the shadows cover every street we walk at night And the sun has been replaced by the streetlights We were so afraid that we'd become the things we hate It came easier to sleep than to awake We came into this world never knowing we'd want out From our first sunrise to these dark skies We have only been let down We have only been let down We came into this world never knowing we'd want out From our first sunrise to these dark skies We have only been let down We have only been let down We have only been let down
