I live a life full of fantasy Sometimes forget that you're next to me I'm getting numb to the reality Another flag at half mast, thoughts and prayers kinda day You live a life of depravity Low-hanging fruit on the family tree You're getting numb to all the revelry With your eyes half open Pop a pill to stay awake It ain't the pain, no joy in shame It ain't because we love the game It's only cause we have to It feels like we all need to It's only cause we have to I wish we didn't need to We walk around this emergency Try to forget that it's crumbling We're making friends with Mr. Vanity Whatever feels good today and keeps the dread out of our way It's kinda sad; it's kinda lame We're not that different, I'll show ya It's only cause we have to It feels like we all need to It's only cause we have to I wish we didn't need to Seems like there's nowhere to go There's nowhere to retreat to Cause for all that we know God it seems like it's all bad news Is it inside of our heads? Are we too frightened to know the truth? I just can't fight it to death I gotta give in to get through It's only cause we have to It feels like we all need to It's only cause we have to I wish we didn't need to It's only cause we have to It feels like we all need to It's only cause we have to I wish we didn't need to
