We tried to look the other way
As we were walking above his grave
All we did was run away
And we couldn't talk about it
We tried to look the other way
As we were walking above his grave
All we did was run away
And we couldn't talk about it
The things we do just to survive
It takes selfishness to stay alive
I'd rather live with guilt than sit down and die
Everything you thought you knew just doesn't apply
All our hopes washed down the drain
While a ghost of him still remains
Haunting us, inflicting pain
And we'll never talk about it
All our hopes washed down the drain
While a ghost of him still remains
Haunting us, inflicting pain
And we'll never talk about it
The things we do just to survive
It takes selfishness to stay alive
I'd rather live with guilt than sit down and die
Everything you thought you knew just doesn't apply
I'm not saying I'm sorry for being me
I'm only sorry that you loved me conditionally
So concerned with constructions, identities
I say fuck those instructions, that ain't me
It takes selfishness to stay alive
I'd rather live with guilt than sit down and die
Everything you thought you knew just doesn't apply
The things we do (The things we do)
Just to survive
It takes selfishness to stay alive
I'd rather live with guilt than sit down and die
Everything you thought you knew just doesn't apply

Choking on the dust of unsettled affairs
Gasping for breath until we clear the air
Choking on the dust of unsettled affairs
Gasping for breath until we clear the air
Not what if but when, looming like a cloud
Hoping it will end, but dreading how
Not what if but when, looming like a cloud
Hoping it will end, but dreading how
Choking on the words of something hidden for years
Even though you might have guessed
You never wanted to hear
Choking on the words of something hidden for years
Even though you might have guessed
You never wanted to hear
Not what if but when, looming like a cloud
Hoping it will end, but dreading how
Not what if but when, looming like a cloud
Hoping it will end, but dreading how
Why can't you comfort me?
I need your support more than ever before
Instead you discredit me
Hoping it's a phase you can just ignore
Why can't you comfort me?
I need your support more than ever before
Instead you discredit me
Hoping it's a phase you can just ignore
Not what if but when, looming like a cloud
Hoping it will end, but dreading how
Not what if but when, looming like a cloud
Hoping it will end, but dreading how

Stop while you're ahead
Lights keep flashing in your head
After exposure, the picture's turned over
Stop while you're ahead
Lights keep flashing in your head
After exposure, the picture's turned over
Evolve purposefully
The wilful survive as ancient sentiments die
Construct yourself out of the ashes
It's natural selection
Lose your origin
Find what truly lies within
All preparation, for vital recreation
Evolve purposefully
The wilful survive as ancient sentiments die
Construct yourself out of the ashes
It's natural selection
Evolve purposefully
The wilful survive as ancient sentiments die
Construct yourself out of the ashes
It's natural selection
Evolve purposefully
The wilful survive as ancient sentiments die
Construct yourself out of the ashes
It's natural selection
Evolve purposefully
The wilful survive as ancient sentiments die
Construct yourself out of the ashes
It's natural selection
