talk is cheap
but i’m taking the blame
honestly
there’s nothing to say
my misery
loves company
now you know
i’m letting you down
i’ll never be
your solid ground
enemies
we didn’t used to be
i’m sorry oh oh
i didn’t mean to break you down …
giving you the run around
CHORUS:
tell me why you act so tongue-tied
i know
you can tell that somethings not right
it shows
got caught up in all my white lies
oh no
and now we’re going up in flames
going up in flames
come to me
with all your complaints
acting like
you’re a saint
innocent, you pretend
oh oh
forgivin me
forgetting us
but it doesn’t matter because
we’re out of touch
i’m sorry oh oh
i didn’t mean to break you down …
giving you the run around
CHORUS:
tell me why you act so tongue-tied
i know
you can tell that somethings not right
it shows
got caught up in all my white lies
oh no
and now we’re going up in flames
going up in flames
i'm gonna watch, gonna watch us burn down
i'm gonna watch, gonna watch us burn down
cause we're going up in flames
i'm gonna watch, gonna watch us burn down
i'm gonna watch, gonna watch us burn down
cause we're going up in flames

I am a queer goth who works in climate. thanks for giving my soul an outlet for all this despair. I too dream of gutting billionaires... and would gladly drown when the flood comes for them. thanks for helping me keep the abyss at bay and stay in the fight. can't thank you enough for this album. alder-knight
