lyrics

We’re circling the drain, gathering dust.
Empty out my head, and now it’s just a husk.

We’re up against the wall, but can we push through.
Primetime news paints an ugly picture of you.

Our foot is on the gas, but nothing in the tank,
remembering the day my own heart sank.

How can we tow the line… when the line is on fire?
How do we fly the flag… the flag is on fire?

Nothing comes close, air on my lungs.
Unravelling world, on the tip of my tongue.

Here is comes again, bite on my thumb.
Try to talk it out… you’re leaving me numb.

We’re up against the wall, but can we push through.
Prime time news paints a portrait of you.

Our foot is on the gas, but nothing in the tank,
remembering the day my own heart sank.

How can we tow the line… when the line is on fire?
How do we fly the flag… the flag is on fire?

Circling the drain

We’re all just simple people, with nobody left to blame…. A natural trait to be a coward and it’s okay to hide your shame.
We’re all just heading downward, the taste of ash on our tongues, It’s okay to start a fire, when there’s nobody left to burn.

Down the drain… down the drain.

We’re all just simple people, with nobody left to blame…. A natural trait to be a coward and it’s okay to hide your shame.
We’re all just heading downward, the taste of ash on our tongues, It’s okay to start a fire, when there’s nobody left to burn.

Down the drain… down the drain.
