lyrics

you don't have a bad bone in your body
but i'd still like to break a few
i'd rather see if you've got a backbone
what do i have left to lose?

is this the end of where ends meet,
or simply somewhere in between?
the glamour of gluttony

if living complacent's adjacent to living a lie
it never hurts to try
you've gotta get yours and i've gotta get mine
so wake up and face it, you'll never have too much time
it's time to feel alive
don't let think that you're on their side

"i have cobwebs for maps
now i'm searching for the atlas
the cracks on the walls,
let's read them like the palms of our hands"

is this the end of where ends meet?

if living complacent's adjacent to living a lie
then we've just been wasting our time
we get so tired of days that are wasted... wasted away

so preoccupied
with choosing sides
i've given up the fight

who are you to tell me who to be?
i can side with apathy
