lyrics
Yeah
I never saw it coming it just hit me like a freight train to my chest
As I fell backwards to the floor
I wanted to sink into it, to fade away and disappear
Or shut my eyes and scramble to the door
But as I sat and thought about it all
My ghost lives out the door and down the hall
What if everything you've ever done has been in service of a lie
It was just like Y2K I thought there was a better way
But they told me that this was just the way things work
There was nothing I could say
My voice already stripped away
So I just sat back down and watched it crumble into dirt
Broken glass surrounded me, my hands and knees were bloodied blistered
Fractured into horizontal lines
And all my hopes and dreams were there, I clambered to my feet and stumbled
Towards the red fluorescent exit sign
But when I put my hand upon the door
A siren started tearing through the store
I needed to escape this gilded cage of my own making and fly
It was just like Y2K I thought there was a better way
But they told me that this was just the way things work
There was nothing I could say
My voice already stripped away
So I just sat back down and watched it crumble into dirt
Yeah
I never saw it coming it just hit me like a freight train to my chest
As I fell backwards to the floor
I wanted to sink into it, to fade away and disappear
Or shut my eyes and scramble to the door
But as I sat and thought about it all
My ghost lives out the door and down the hall
What if everything you've ever done has been in service of a lie
It was just like Y2K I thought there was a better way
But they told me that this was just the way things work
There was nothing I could say
My voice already stripped away
So I just sat back down and watched it crumble into dirt
Broken glass surrounded me, my hands and knees were bloodied blistered
Fractured into horizontal lines
And all my hopes and dreams were there, I clambered to my feet and stumbled
Towards the red fluorescent exit sign
But when I put my hand upon the door
A siren started tearing through the store
I needed to escape this gilded cage of my own making and fly
It was just like Y2K I thought there was a better way
But they told me that this was just the way things work
There was nothing I could say
My voice already stripped away
So I just sat back down and watched it crumble into dirt
Yeah
