We can lay our lies upon ourselves until we’re hot
We can stretch them out til we can tie them up in knots
Or take the time to recognize the brightest boon you have to offer
The ability to step aside
I’ve always heard the stories but they’ve never been mine
Baby we’re on life support yeah
Baby we're on life support yeah
And you don’t make it easier when you say we’re alright
Because we’re not
We’re on life support
My caffeinated cadence quivers now
Trapped between early 20s livers who think they hurt
But don’t even know how
And disassociate when faced with
The one true thing they owe each other
The opportunity to grow
And how it makes us stuttered and slowed
Baby we're on life support yeah
Baby we're on life support yeah
And you don’t make it easier when you say we’re alright
Because we’re not
You’ve got new leases on think pieces
Describing keys to every leash you’ve never known
But you felt fear
I mean real fear
When you’re born unto your podium and no one wants to hear
Like no one ever whispered no into your precious little ears
Baby we’re on life support yeah
Baby we're on life support yeah
And you don't make it easier when you say we're alright
You don't make it easier when you say we're alright
You don’t make it easier when you say we’re alright
Because we’re not
We’re on life support
