we're the kings and queens of the new broken scene. 

dear 1975,
          
          y u do dis?
          
          sincerely, the entire population

where did i go wrong?
          i lost a friend
          somewhere along in the bitterness 
          and i would've stayed up with you all night
          had i known
          how to save a life

faith is to be awake
          and to be awake is for us to think
          and for us to think is to be alive
          and i will try with every rhyme
          to come across like i am dying
          to let you know you need to try to think
          sometime quite is violent 

i have these thoughts
          so often i ought
          to replace that slot
          with what i once bought
          'cause somebody stole
          my car radio
          and now i just sit in silence

and i just need enough of you to dull the pain

till we're saints just swimming in our sins again

I wanna hug you so hard that all your broken pieces will stick back together. 

Frustration, desperation.
          You say you need some kinda medication.
          Situation, no motivation.
          Desperation: permanent vacation.

why can't i strip down to a skeleton again?
