lyrics

Verse 1:
Peel back your skin and show the crowd your flesh.
They're already gone.
It's unusual, unusual.
Nobody cares, so spit your poetry into the bathroom sink.
It's a crying shame, a crying shame.
But don't you cry.
Chorus 1:
We've done nothing. We've done nothing wrong.
We've done nothing. We've done nothing wrong.
We do nothing, but play the same old song.
We do nothing right.
Verse 2:
Lighten up your mood.
Take the whole month off.
Are you still angry?
About nothing. About nothing.
Remember when I was belligerent?
You couldn't talk to me.
I lost my soul and faith
But I found a home in you.
Prechous:
Keep up the madness, it's a beautiful statue.
But it falls apart, and you can't rebuild what you don't use.
Chorus 2:
We've done nothing. We've done nothing wrong.
We've done nothing. We've done nothing wrong.
We're still playing the same old boring songs.
We'll never get it right.
Bridge 1:
What good have you done for me lately?
Rob me blind, then tell me that I'm lazy.
Travel 8 hours to get a few hand claps.
Don't tell me that I'll get it when I'm older.
I get it now, I just can't grasp art as well as you.
I should be lucky to be in the same room as them.
Bridge 2:
Loners aren't always alone.
They make their way...
Onto the platform we call a stage.
It don't matter if they don't feel a thing.
Cause we feel the weight of the world coming down on us.
It's one last chance to be...
Everything you'd hope to be.
