Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your eyes are almost dead
Can't get out of bed
And you can't sleep
[Verse 2]
You're sitting down to dress
And you're a mess
You look in the mirror
[Verse 3]
You look in your eyes
Say you realize
[Verse 4]
Everybody goes
Leaving those
Who fall behind
[Verse 5]
Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care
[Verse 6]
They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your airs
[Verse 7]
Your mother's dead
She said
"Don't be afraid"
[Verse 8]
Your mother's dead
You're on your own
She's in her bed
[Verse 9]
Everybody goes
Leaving those
Who fall behind
[Verse 10]
Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care
[Verse 11]
You're a wasted face
You're a sad-eyed lie
You're a holocaust
