Somewhere between happy, and total fucking wreck
Feet sometimes on solid ground, sometimes at the edge
To spend your waking moments, simply killing time
Is to give up on your hopes and dreams, to give up on your...

An obvious disinterest, a barely managed smile
A deep nod in agreement, a status quo exile
I shirk my obligations, I miss all your deadlines
I excel at quitting early, and fucking up my life

All smiles and sunshine, a perfect world on a perfect day
Everything always works out, I have never felt so fucking great
All smiles and sunshine, a perfect world on a perfect day
Everything always works out, I have never felt so great

Life isn't like this
Life isn't like this
Are we verging on an answer,
or fucking up our...

Life for you, has been less than kind
So take a number, stand in line
We've all been sorry, we've all been hurt
But how we survive, is what makes us who we are



Are we so alone, so distant, so forgotten
As we think ourselves to be?
These are our lives, but did they ever even matter?
Are we worth remembering?

Promises we plan to break are made in whispered voices
'Cause our despair knows many names
We make mistakes but we apologize with roses
We never stopped to smell on the way

When this is all said and done
We spent this life on the run
Judged by the company we keep
Our language buried inside
These lungs that keep us alive
We breathe so selfishly

We fell from the sky today
We melt into balls of clay
We sell ourselves everyday
Don't tell me how to live this way

Pushed so far to the edge
We teeter just on the brink
You can lead me to the bloodbath
But you can't make me drink

[Verse 1:]
Mi put Psalm 33 at mi daughter head at night
And say a praya, before she go ah bed at night
Iron dawgs ah roam and dem nuh fraid fi bite
Nuh through yuh live throughout the day

Cause... day by day me see more man ah dead
Ah youth get run offa site and the foreman ah dead
Me get ah buss and fly weh and all pon tour man ah dead
Youth get caught inna crime mek him poor mother dead
You fi say a praya fi the thugs wey bleach at night
It's the least at night, no beauty only beast at night
And ah dem ah lock the streets at night
So you can't sleep in peace at night... sooooo

[Chorus:]
Yuh fi watch yuh frenz weh yuh smoke with

Ah bare blood me see ah stain the youth dem t-shirt
Me wish me coulda build a rocket and mi leave earth
Whappen to the youth weh wipe the car glass

Meanwhile their companion slept
They were upward toilin thru da night
