[Verse 1] We ain’t here to change the world, and nothing here is free Just love for anarchy, and half-truths we half-believe One hand holds empty quotes as instinct for defense The other clings to faded papers as survival evidence Relationships like bunkers built from concrete blocks Waiting rooms filled up with eviction shocks Some burned out, gave all that they had And some were born to run—don’t make us martyrs for that Rainy days, we rely on pure luck When your biggest dream’s to reach thirty, that’s tough What you earn by singing, can whistle away The truest soul is the best liar anyway Our strongest vows blink like closing-time signs And happy smiles hide the heaviest lines Some get stuck in stats, trapped in their frame While others rise from ditches, or go up in flames [Hook] Where they dressed us as losers in borrowed skin I play Russian roulette with life and grin And even if all roads lead to grief in the end I still believe in better – I believe in us, my friend [Verse 2] Yeah it’s me again, sometimes I miss it bad Back to my brother’s porch in that lonely forest pad Yeah I feel it too – the wrong folks hold the power Mom said “poor boy,” when the roof fell in that hour Green ain't enough, I drop pure gold in lines And I kill with these verses – that's just part of the design I don’t need no squad, no lights or fake hype I survive solo – this life ain’t no Fortnite Girls stay around when this dog starts to growl Even peace ain't enough when your heart won’t slow down I love the sea, though I never learned to swim I felt good on the bottom, when the world went dim Sometimes I’m lost in thought, but my town brings me back It turns eyes yellow, that's just how it acts It leaves you in debt, and the glass black with ash The kids are so pure, no one's ever matched that [Hook] Where they dressed us as losers in borrowed skin I play Russian roulette with life and grin And even if all roads lead to grief in the end I still believe in better – I believe in us, my friend [Verse 3] Uncertainty waits behind every door Blood in the booth, obits say: “young man, no more” Each day’s a chance to start from scratch The darkest time is right before dawn’s first patch Dear friend, let go, it’s your time to fly Don’t be scared – you’re not alone, you live in my mind So many church bells rung too many times Rest in peace, brother – you don’t need this grind Singing solo now in a choir full of wings Every night I fear when my own bell rings We prep ourselves to lie under grass and leaves Health ain’t debt, you can’t inherit it with ease Falling apart is trending – stay straight, stay clean Please don’t give in – hold your scene Russian roulette, pipe points to a fix But it don’t have to be like this – you got friends in the mix [Hook – Final] Where they dressed us as losers in borrowed skin I play Russian roulette with life and grin And even if all roads lead to grief in the end I still believe in better – I believe in us, my friend
