The Flatliners - This Is Giving Up lyrics

rate me

What have we become?

It hits like a shotgun blast under the still-rising sun

These corners once preyed on by the powers-that-be

have fallen victim to a clean sweep

Get ready to hang your head in shame

when you're greeted by the new face

Of hope and fear

So lay your fingers down on the concrete and watch as they bleed

And listen to everyone scream out!

We have become!

What we were always running from

These bloodshot eyes open to a room on fire

And I'm the only one...

Holding a match

This doesn't feel much like a dream

I know that life changes

Does it change this quickly?

And your expectations could be met with tragedy

I know it doesn't seem this way

Just try not to believe

You and I

You and I

We couldn't change the world if we tried

We might as well watch it all fall

You and I

You and I

we couldn't save the world if we tried

We might as well watchi it all fall in front of our eyes

This is giving up!
