lyrics
we all wanna breathe something that’s not dirt
so keep your head above water and pray it don’t hurt
some things you know and some things you don’t
and once you know that it’s easy to cope
we can make mistakes on our own
with no help from you
this is gonna be the longest century without you here
but that’s not what i fear the most because i know
we’ve spent enough time on our own
yeah here comes death, he sure looks bold
but to defy him is bolder than you know
i know what you think, it’s not what you think
i never get tired i never get weak
you’re making up these problems in your mind
and i won’t subscribe
when your problems seem to pile up for weeks on end
you can bury them deep down in the dirt again
but for once in our lives lets not just say we tried
let’s do it right, lets fucking do it right this time
let’s do it god damn right
so keep your head above water and pray it don’t hurt
some things you know and some things you don’t
and once you know that it’s easy to cope
we can make mistakes on our own
with no help from you
this is gonna be the longest century without you here
but that’s not what i fear the most because i know
we’ve spent enough time on our own
yeah here comes death, he sure looks bold
but to defy him is bolder than you know
i know what you think, it’s not what you think
i never get tired i never get weak
you’re making up these problems in your mind
and i won’t subscribe
when your problems seem to pile up for weeks on end
you can bury them deep down in the dirt again
but for once in our lives lets not just say we tried
let’s do it right, lets fucking do it right this time
let’s do it god damn right
