[Verse 1]
I'm always on the run
From all the things I've never done
I can never escape
Fluid in my lungs
Oh, 'cause I've been treading water
For so long

[Hook]
You burn the books you never read
Because of what you think they said

[Chorus]
I'm not dead on arrival
Though I'm up against the ropes
So I'll stare into the darkness
Just to see how deep it goes

[Verse 2]
Neon and silhouettes
Stare at the light, it's just yourself
Seems we don't bury our dead
We watch but we don't learn
Entertained and unconcerned
And unaware
[Hook]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
We're told to watch others live our dreams
So we all sit staring at the screens
The numbing warmth of the neon blue
Can't give me something to hold on to

[Chorus]
