lyrics

Lyrics:
At a traffic light with a thousand-yard stare - the glare of the early morning sun in my eyes. It was a golden mirage, but because of the vision - I bought into the fiction and now I sell the whitest of lies.

The promise of potential, like a brick in your satchel - weighing down every dream you dreamt. Just like a fading picture, these long-forgotten whispers - this taste of failure and regret.

Always dress the part, life on the dotted line - It’s a grind, it’s a hill, you were born to climb. What an empty charade, hey, we all have misgivings - but this clock keeps on ticking, and I’m running out of time.

The promise of potential, like a brick in your satchel - weighing down every dream you dreamt. Just like a fading picture, these long-forgotten whispers - this taste of failure and regret.

We are crooked. We are broken. We are searching and we know it. We are crooked. We are broken. We keep hoping against hope, yeah!

The promise of potential, like a brick in your satchel - weighing down every dream you dreamt. We’re all going nowhere, stuck in a terrible nightmare - just remember that we are all crooked… and broken.
