Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Say what you like, I know what I am
Sometimes, a flood starts with a leak in the dam
You said we'll never make a difference
Maybe this battle is to fight indifference
[Verse 2]
Naysayer
[Verse 3]
Naysayer, hammer the nail
We're all on our own, we can't decide what's true
Betrayer, hammer the nail
Such narrow lines separate me and you
[Verse 4]
So sick of the sound of people giving up
You can't stop me giving a fuck
Fuck it, I'm a dreamer and I'm dreaming on
Fuck it, I'm a dreamer and I'm dreaming on
[Verse 5]
With every concession, another piece of us dies
Will we fight for nothing if not our lives?
Apathy is our new messiah
Only he could let things get so dire
[Verse 6]
All the messengers found knives in their backs
Apathy is our new messiah
The word made flesh, you can't fight fire with fire
All the messengers found knives in their backs
[Verse 7]
I know it haunts you, it haunts me too
We're all on our own, we can't decide what's true
Why are we fighting
When I'm just like you?
[Verse 8]
Naysayer
[Verse 9]
Naysayer, hammer the nail
We're all on our own, we can't decide what's true
Betrayer, hammer the nail
Such narrow lines separate me and you
[Verse 10]
So sick of the sound of people giving up
You can't stop me giving a fuck
Fuck it, I'm a dreamer and I'm dreaming on
Fuck it, I'm a dreamer and I'm dreaming on
[Verse 11]
Apathy is our new messiah
The word made flesh
You can't fight fire with fire
