lyrics

Here we go again
It's our left brain
We can't make amends
Present the evidence

Writing on the walls
Written with bullet holes
Call this our modern hell
Now ring them church bells

Are we safe tonight?

Here we are
Carving up our star
Our pain is finding stories
Hiding in the night

Here we are
On a mutant safari
Not trusting or sorry
Denial hearts unite

Bring that evidence
From the newsstand
Paint our picket fence
The shade of pure revenge

Making every dime
For a worthy cause?
Where do we draw the line?
Only crossed eyes are blind

Are we all alive?
Are we safe tonight?

I'm not here to make some grand statement
I'm just some dude who likes to write songs in his room like a cave man
Some days lurking through my feed is like a defect
Then a memory leak happens when I just want to feel safe again
So, I put it all down and kiss the pavement
To a suburban life with no extremes or extremists
Boring is my favorite feeling

Are we all alive?
Are we safe tonight?

Everybody needs a war to survive from
And everybody needs a calling to unite them
Everybody needs a love to divide friends
And everybody knows there's an animal inside them

Maybe for the first time
We can make a good thing last
Pick up our guitars and strum
And sing away the nighttime facts

Here we are
Embracing our lonely star
Our pain is writing stories
Hiding in plain sight

Here we are
On a brave new safari
Trusting our sorries
Hello old hearts, unite

What have we learned?
What have we learned?
What have we learned?
I don't know, but I'll keep trying
