We're not the brightest or the best we're pretty good at what we do
I tell my self again you gotta play outside the rules
I try to pretend that I make all of my luck
In reality I'm slaving to the way that people are
And we all pretend we're ten feet tall, making bets that we know will fail
When the slightest bit of trouble puts you somewhere near the edge
pray a little less, find happiness instead
My fate was never written by a selfish man above
My fate was written somewhere in 100 unheard songs
Lying in a notebook at the bottom of my drawer
Pretend we're ten feet tall.

you make yourself the victim constantly
it's not my fault you live destructively
there's no way
your life's defined by insecurities
to reap and sow was never so telling
there's no way you'll fool me
open your eyes there are no discrepancies
just what you make, a life of hypocrisy
there's no way
you embrace pure negativity
and expect the world to give you everything
there's no way you'll fool me
you live like nothings left to lose
your happiness is forced and fake
does the blood still flow through your veins
i'm not convinced that you're not a machine
there's no way you'll fool me

DGR/DWN - Carved Hearts
02:50

he holds tight to the memories of walking hand in hand
getting lost on dead end streets and carving hearts into the sand
he sits alone
waits for the telephone
what he don't know
is she ain't ever coming home
she twists his thoughts
to paint a better scene
what he don't know
is she ain't ever coming clean
she's afraid of what she really wants afraid to face the facts
he would rather live in a fantasy than watch his reality crack
all he ever wanted all he ever needed
all he ever wanted was to believe her
all she ever wanted all she ever needed
all she ever wanted was to leave him

DGR/DWN - Face Down

we're young we're failures we love it
and it's never getting better never getting better never getting better
getting better than this
two bodies in the dirt
face down in the sand
two bodies dead as dirt
they lie there hand in had
it's not a tragedy
more like a blessing see
two bodies in the dirt
they lie there hand in hand
