You're looking pretty miserable
Ill, it's undeniable
The conditions you live in, they’re deplorable
You've got no place to call your own
And they crawl under your skin
Reinvent your failures, and remind you of your sins
Leave behind the excess to the point of wearing thin
All along you’re trying to forget where you've been
Break apart what's left of you
Tell the world what you've been through
Talk is cheap, but so are the gestures in between
We are all but alive, we are all but breathing
You pretty little baby dressed in blue
Share your love with nothing to lose
You live through the abuse, after all they've done for you
Make your mark in a picture perfect paramedic point of view
You've got nothing to lose, they live their lives above you
They don't mind if you're paralyzed with fear
By the time they open their eyes
You're the victim in disguise
And you owe it to yourself to sever the ties, and live your own life
Break apart what's left of you
Tell the world what you've been through
Talk is cheap, but so are the gestures in between
We are all but alive, we are all but breathing
Who are they to cast a fire to your name?
You broke it off, you went overboard and you made yourself a cast away
They're gonna love you all the same
It was bound to carry out this way, you lit a torch above your family name
They don't mind if you're paralyzed with fear
By the time they open their eyes
You're the victim in disguise
And you owe it to yourself to sever the ties, and live your own life
