lyrics

Hold your breath and wait for this to pass
Ego death, everything fades with time
Sleeping soul, a drone without a mind
No control, they'll push you to the point of breaking
Leap of faith from here into the void
Cityscapes have lost their former wonder
Fuck it all it's all a fuckin lie
Rise and fall, you're underground before you know it

Sure you could hide out, wait for the storm to clear
But where's the fun in that?

Hesitate as the days slip by and nothing ever seems to change
You're your own worst enemy

Hold your breath and wait for this to pass
Ego death, everything fades with time
Sleeping soul, a drone without a mind
No control, they'll push you to the point of breaking

This indecision has got the best of me
Spill what's on your mind and I just can't relate

And I know it's not your fault
You're a product of environment
But the world don't give a shit
She's a cruel bitch to be sure

Just throw another hurdle under my legs

Hesitate as the days slip by and nothing ever seems to change
You're your own worst enemy
One day you'll have to face all the cold complacency you once warmly embraced
When you chose to play it safe

Cause after all at the end of the day you gotta like what you see when you look at yourself in the mirror

One day you'll wake up just to find your life has passed you by
So much potential gone to waste with no good reason why
Try not to think about the life you could have lived instead
Your days are over hold your fucking breath you're walking dead

Everybody's gone and everything's a mess.
