Lyrics
Dreams, like coins down a well
'Til I realized I was dumb for believing
To the bird with no flight
The skies don't ever offer respite
So I wandered off
And went to fill the holes in my shadow
But everything costs
Proof is etched into the backs of my hands
I heard you say that you've lost
You've lost, you've lost, you've lost your way
But I don't think you had much to lose
That house was never built for you
And I ain't gonna hang my head for them, for them
And I ain't gonna let them paint the truth as sin
And I ain't gonna tell you it's okay when at the end of the day
You were just something to blame
A face pressed into your hands
Couldn't tell if you were crying or laughing
They both sound the same
When you ain't got no skin in the game
So I took up the fight
And the rolling in my head was like thunder
'Til I uncurled my fists
And allowed myself to not give a damn
I heard you say that we've lost
We've lost, we've lost, we've lost our way
But I don't think we had much to lose
That path was never built for us
And I ain't gonna hang my head for them, for them
And I ain't gonna let them paint the truth as sin
And I ain't gonna tell you it's okay when at the end of the day
We were just something to blame
