[Verse 1: Tades Sanville]
Reprimanded, why shouldn't I curse
In an e-mail I sent lying when I skip work?
Two-week notice, I'd rather be poor
Barely paid me enough for the nothing I'm worth

[Chorus: Tades Sanville & Chris Freeman]
Faraday
No one wants to know how bad you feel
All that matters is you pay the rent and keep the lights on
Budgeting how long you'll be alive

[Verse 2: Tades Sanville & Chris Freeman]
And if I've gotta hear the same song again
From the manager's Pandora playlist
I swear to God, I'll fill the sink with ammonia and chlorine and block every door
(And fill every vent, and fill every vent)
Making the wrong choice every timе that I come in
Though they guarantee the longеr I commit
That I will see it get better
When's it get better?

[Chorus: Tades Sanville & Chris Freeman]
Faraday
No one wants to know how bad you feel
All that matters is you pay the rent and keep the lights on
Budgeting how long you'll be alive
Why talk about it?
[Bridge: Tades Sanville & Chris Freeman]
The colors melt from the lines
I spent the best years of my life alone most the time
My family works 'til they die
I wish I were happy to do that, but can't fall in line
No, I can't fall in line, no, I can't fall in line
(Faraday, Faraday, Faraday)
(Keep the lights on)

[Chorus: Tades Sanville & Chris Freeman]
Faraday
No one wants to know how bad you feel
All that matters is you pay the rent and keep the lights on
Budgeting how long you'll be alive
Why talk about it?
Faraday
No one wants to know how bad you feel
All that matters is you pay the rent and keep the lights on
Budgeting how long you'll be alive
Why talk about it?
