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
