[Intro: Matt Walst]
We'll never say, we'll never say mayday
[Verse 1]
It was a month since he passed, maybe less
And no one knew what to do, we were such a mess
We were texting, we were calling, we were checking in
We said we ought to play a show in honor of our friend
Well now that show's finally here, it's tonight
Supposed to go to the bowl, get on stage, dim the lights
With our friends and our family, in his name, celebrate
There's no way that I'll be ready to get back up on that stage
Can't remember if I've cancelled any show
But I think about what I'm supposed to do and I don't know
'Cause I think about not doing it the same way as before
And it makes me wanna puke my fucking guts out on the floor
We rehearsed it for a month, I'm not worried 'bout the set
I get tackled by the grief at times that I would least expect
I know what I should be doing when I'm singing but instead
We'll be playing through a song and I'll remember in my head
[Chorus: Adam Gontier]
We walk like dead people who haven't died yet
We ride like passengers without a pilot
We be losing our minds, but we all try to hide it
It's hard to keep fighting when you're barely surviving
[Interlude: Matt Walst]
(We'll never say, we'll never say mayday)
[Verse 2]
What they saying, I'm not raw?
What the fuck you take me for?
All the sudden you hear what I said a hundred ways before?
I been pushed, I been trapped
Drug myself through hell and back and
Fallen flat and had the balls to start it all again from scratch
How do you feel? How you doing? How'd the show go?
Am I insane to say the truth is that I don’t know?
My body aches, head's spinning, this is all wrong
I almost lost it in the middle of a couple songs
And everybody that I talk to is like, “Wow
Must be really hard to figure what to do now”
Well thank you genius, you think it'll be a challenge?
Only my life's work hanging in the fucking balance
And all I wanted was to get a little bit of closure
And every step I took I looked and wasn't any closer
'Cause sometimes when you say goodbye, yeah you say it
Over and over and over and over
[Chorus: Matt Walst]
We walk like dead people who haven't died yet
We ride like passengers without a pilot
We be losing our minds, but we all try to hide it
It's hard to keep fighting when you're barely surviving
[Bridge: Matt Walst & Adam Gontier]
Calm down, we'll be okay
Just some turbulence, we're on our way
We're going down, but not today
We'll never say mayday
[Chorus: Adam Gontier & Matt Walst]
We walk like dead people who haven't died yet
We ride like passengers without a pilot
We be losing our minds, but we all try to hide it
It's hard to keep fighting when you're barely surviving
We walk like dead people who haven't died yet
We ride like passengers without a pilot
We be losing our minds, but we all try to hide it
It's hard to keep fighting when you're barely surviving
[Outro: Adam Gontier & Matt Walst]
But we're still alive
We be losing our minds
We'll never say, we'll never say mayday
We'll never say, we'll never say mayday
