I wanna take you, don’t wanna come and go
‘Cause you’re the finest girl that’s ever brought me home
But I think that there’s someone watching me
I see them creeping in the shadow of our neighbor’s trees
And if we run I think it ends all the same
And no I’m sorry but I don’t know how to fuckin’ explain
We pull the weight but they pull all the strings
To keep us living in our dead-end, broken, dying dreams

So would you ride with me, would you die with me?
Would you open up your sunken eyes with me?
Will you fight your fears and face another year?
Or will you play the kind of music that they want to hear?

You wanna take me, you wanna leave this place
I wanna panic when I see the look that’s on your face
Their agents are watching every step
Every shiver, every mutter, every ragged breath
The trap is sprung, now we’re caught in the dark
We touch the sky and the ground begins to tear us apart
Never crashed a car before tonight, but I’m ready now
Lying in the ditch in the smoke and broken glass
If this night is my moment, please don’t let it pass

So would you ride with me, would you die with me?
Would you open up your sunken eyes with me?
Will you fight your fears and face another year?
Or will you play the kind of music that they want to hear?
Will you fade away with the break of day?
Will you never say the things you thought you needed to say?
Cuz I’m taking flight in the dead of the night
And even though I sound crazy, girl, you know I’m right

When will it stop, where will we be?
I’m taking the jump, I’m counting to three
There’s no stopping now, I won’t go alone
I won’t leave you here in this world of stone

So will they kill your kind, erase your family line?
Are you here without a purpose, are you ready to die?
Under chemical skies the blood will paint our eyes
Look at the world before they burn it, are you really surprised?
Are you really surprised?
Are you really surprised?
