Wires - The Neighborhood

We talked about making it
I'm sorry that you never made it
It pains me just to hear you
Have to say it

You knew the game and played it
It kills to know
That you have been defeated
I see the wires while you're breathin

You knew you had a reason
It killed you like diseases
I can hear it in your voice while you're speaking
You can't be treated

Mr Know It All
Had his reign
And his fall
At least, thats what his brain is telling all

If he said "Help me kill the president,"
I'd say he needs medicine
Sick of screaming "Let us in!"
The wires got the best of him

All that he invested in goes

Straight to hell
Straight to hell
Straight to hell
Straight to hell

He told me I should take it in
Listen to every word he's speaking
The wires getting older
I can hear the way they're creaking

As they're holding him
Well
I can see it in his jaw
That all he ever wanted was a job

He tells me to be raw
Admits to every little flaw
That never let him sit
Upon the top

Wont tell me to stop
Thinks that I should
Be a little cautious
Well I can tell the wire's pulled

If he said "Help me kill the president,"
I'd say he needs medicine
Sick of screaming "Let us in!"
The wires got the best of him

All that he invested in goes

Straight to hell
Straight to hell
Straight to hell
Straight to hell

I'm having trouble in believing
And I just started seeing
Light at the beginning of the tunnel
But he tells me that I'm dreaming

When he talks I hear his ghosts
Every word they say to me
I just pray the wires arent coming
(Here to strangle me)

If he said "Help me kill the president,"
I'd say he needs medicine
Sick of screaming "Let us in!"
The wires got the best of him

All that he invested in goes

Straight to hell
Straight to hell
Straight to hell
Straight to hell

Oh, oh
