I live a life full of fantasy
Sometimes forget that you’re next to me
I’m getting numb to the reality
Another flag at half-mast, thoughts and prayers kinda day

You live a life of depravity
Low-hanging fruit on the family tree
You’re getting numb to all the revelry
With your eyes half-open
Pop a pill to stay awake

It ain’t the pain, no joy in shame
It ain’t because we love the game

It’s only cause we have to
It feels like we all need to
It’s only cause we have to
I wish we didn’t need to

We walk around this emergency
Try to forget that it’s crumbling
We’re making friends with Mr. Vanity
Whatever feels good today and keeps the dread out of our way

It’s kinda sad; it’s kinda lame
We’re not that different, I’ll show ya

It’s only cause we have to
It feels like we all need to
It’s only cause we have to
I wish we didn’t need to

Seems like there’s nowhere to go
There’s nowhere to retreat to
Cause for all that we know
God it seems like it’s all bad news
Is it inside of our heads?
Are we too frightened to know the truth?
I just can’t fight it to death
I gotta give in to get through

It’s only cause we have to
It feels like we all need to
It’s only cause we have to
I wish we didn’t need to

It’s only cause we have to
It feels like we all need to
It’s only cause we have to
I wish we didn’t need to
