[Verse 1] I'm always on the run From all the things I've never done I can never escape Fluid in my lungs Oh, 'cause I've been treading water For so long [Hook] You burn the books you never read Because of what you think they said [Chorus] I'm not dead on arrival Though I'm up against the ropes So I'll stare into the darkness Just to see how deep it goes [Verse 2] Neon and silhouettes Stare at the light, it's just yourself Seems we don't bury our dead We watch but we don't learn Entertained and unconcerned And unaware [Hook] [Chorus] [Bridge] We're told to watch others live our dreams So we all sit staring at the screens The numbing warmth of the neon blue Can't give me something to hold on to [Chorus]
