Lyrics

The rent is late but the lights still glow
We laugh through the pain so the cracks don't show
Everything's fine… or that's what we claim
The walls know the words we're afraid to say

The TV hums with another debate
While I'm staring at bills that I can't pay
The coffee's cold but I drink it anyway
There are so many words that we need to say

All the fear behind our faces
All the dreams that lost their places
All the hearts that fade away
It's everything we're not allowed to say

The phone keeps ringing… still can't pay the bills
We're trapped inside against our own free will
We build our truths out of what we hear
Then break apart when the truth is revealed

We're all shouting into the void
Different sides scream the same noise
The truth gets smaller every day
It's everything we never learned to say

All the hope we tried to borrow
All the quiet dressed as sorrow
All the hearts we lost today
It's everything we never learned to say

We're tired… we're lost… we're trying to pray
But the words won't come… they've all been taken away
We're hungry for hope… we're begging to feel
Something that's real… something that heals

We're all crying for the same thing
But no one's listening anyway
Still we keep reaching through the gray
For everything we're still afraid to say

They broker peace then fight the next day
In their ivory towers just playing a game
We are the pieces they throw away
It's everything we're not allowed to say

All the fear behind our faces
All the dreams that time erases
All the love we give away
We're all just trying to find a way

We're still here… but barely breathing
Still believing… and still bleeding
Don't take what's left away
It's everything we needed you to say

It's everything…
We needed you to hear.
