lyrics

So lets evacuate
We can forget all these pesky thoughts
We'll drown them out with plenty of fun
Choose to ignore
All the signs that are right in front of us
So much we won't say, even more we leave undone

Wasting time again
Eyes fixed to a TV screen, we sit here and daydream
We'll wait for this to end
It will be our demise, comes to us as no surprise

Hearts filled up with fear
Having a pleasant debate about the best way to procrastinate
You seem so cavalier
Im working hard to express, your working harder to undress

My heart is beating inside of my chest
(I am nervous and it shows)
Im in a hurry, I beg you, please pull the trigger lest
(I try to strike a confident pose)
I fall in to cardiac arrest
(Afraid that you'll see right through)

This charade

Its something we thought that we could handle
Turns out that we were wrong

So lets evacuate
We can forget all these pesky thoughts
We'll drown them out with plenty of fun
Choose to ignore
All the signs that are right in front of us
So much we won't say, even more we leave undone

My heart is beating inside of my chest
(I am nervous and it shows)
Im in a hurry, I beg you, please pull the trigger lest
(I try to strike a confident pose)
I fall in to cardiac arrest
(Afraid that you'll see right through)

This charade

Its something we thought that we could handle
Turns out that we were wrong

So lets evacuate
We can forget all these pesky thoughts
We'll drown them out with plenty of fun
Choose to ignore
All the signs that are right in front of us
So much we won't say, even more we leave undone
