Brave Faces, Everyone

Broken nose, another textured ceiling I know where I am, I'll pretend like I'm lost Sometimes, I wanna vanish completely And call in sick from life I woke up, and didn't feel better Don't know why I'd act surprised At least each year is getting shorter And the ocean's on the rise 'Cause I'm terrified there's no more waiting I'm running out of what comes next Running through jobs I'm gonna hate Living paycheck to paycheck Like my parents And their parents And their parents before them I should be happy I have no personal effects But I've got my encore I'm back living on their floor But I feel like burning down my life again I'll watch the fire spread over my skin Until I'm nothing left but skeleton I saw a sign in Hannover That said, "The future is in motion" But the motion has me sick It's okay, I'm sick of standing I'm still paying off a good idea From when I was 23 A life spent living off loans And I still don't know What I love, I'm over-leveraged My credit's gone weak The city turned off the power You know it's dark most of the week But if I burned this place down We'd have some heat At least I'm seeing things more positively Because I swear to God, I'm an optimist But I feel like burning down my life again I'll watch the fire spread over my skin Until I'm nothing left but skeleton A pile of dust that's free, just floating in the wind But brave faces, everyone I'm always looking up, and you're jumping But brave faces, everyone But this world, it has no empathy We'll never find our own place And if nothing gets better It's as bad as it seems Why can't we say, "Fuck it, you know it's not what we need?" ('Cause we're just so fucking tired) (If you're not okay) (I'm feeling lower than anyone) (They're praying for you) (I'm tired anyway) (Or weather this high tide) (And what is all your heartache worth?) Brave faces, everyone (Just let me ruin my guts tonight) (Yeah right) (It can't be this bleak forever) (Pointing out dead dogs on the road) (I'm tired anyway) (This is all you'll get) (Hoping all this time, but all you find is) (Be the last one standing) I'm sick of yelling at strangers Don't wanna do this forever And when it all burns down Will you carry me over? We don't have to fix everything at once We were never broken, life's just very long Brave faces, everyone
