I'm always on the run From all the things I've never done I can never escape. Fluid in my lungs Ooh 'cause I've been treading water for so long You burn the books you never read, Because of what you think they said. 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 Neon and silhouettes Stare at the light and just yourself Seems we don't bury our dead We watch but we don't learn Entertained and unconcerned, And unaware. Oh you burn the books you never read Because of what you think they said But 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 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 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.
