We Are The Few

Everything Goes Numb
Dear mr. Gepetto
I hope this finds you well
I wrote you this letter
'Cause we miss you here in hell
And now I know it's hard
When you don't know what to think
And every single smile
Is a thorn and you're waking up
You might try
But you won't get by
Until you're crucified
For all the things you try to do
I don't care
If you sink or swim
I don't care
How you hold it in
As long as you don't bother me
With all the things I don't bother you with
And nine times out of ten you might be right
But what about that time you know you're wrong?
You sing that same song
And everybody smiles but they'll never get along
I'm trying and
I'm trying and
I'm trying and
I'm trying to let go
But everybody's going down tonight
We are the few that won't say nothing right
We are the footsteps fading into the night
Nobody cares and nobody stares
With such conviction and I say
I never wanted this
No one ever wanted this
But they gave it to you
So you might as well be proud of it
I don't know where we went wrong
All I know now is I got to do something right

So come clean
No one should have to live
With the things you've seen
But you're living anyway
Well, stop the car and put her in park
And I step outside
God, I hate this part
When I see what I saw
What I thought was a life
That was more than a chore
And just doing what I need to get by
I don't care if you leave or stay
But you might as well split
Because it's not the same as it was
When we said our last goodbye
And if you want the truth
I was hoping one of us would
Pass away because it'd be much easier then
We would all get together and think about when
We were young, we were dumb
We were numb but in love
And I'm done so I'm sending out this letter today
I'm trying and
I'm trying and
I'm trying and
I'm trying to let go
But everybody's going down tonight
We are the few that won't say nothing right
We are the footsteps fading into the night
Nobody cares and nobody stares
With such conviction and I say
I never wanted this
No one ever wanted this
But they gave it to you
So you might as well be proud of it
I don't know where we went wrong
All I know now is I got to do something right

This has been the best night of my life
This has been the best night of my life
I could've lost my life
And I would've lost my mind
But now I'm fine
And I find
That this has been the best night of my life
This has been the best night of my life
(I still can't believe they had the heart to apologize)
This has been the best night of my life
(I still can't believe they had the heart to apologize)
I could've lost my life
And I would've lost my mind
But now I'm fine
And I find
That this has been the best night of my life
And as the day fades
No one investigates
Nobody answers when she calls his name
Another victim
Somewhere in a shallow grave
I wanna hold her and tell her
It's not your fault

And as the day fades
No one investigates
Nobody answers when she calls his name
Another victim
Somewhere in a shallow grave
I wanna hold her and tell her
It's not your fault

It's not your fault!

We are the few that won't say nothing right
We are the footsteps fading into the night
Nobody cares and nobody stares
With such conviction and I say
I never wanted this
No one ever wanted this
But they gave it to you
So you might as well be proud of it
I don't know where we went wrong
All I know now is I got to do something right

We are the few that won't say nothing right
We are the footsteps fading into the night
Nobody cares and nobody stares
With such conviction and I say
I never wanted this
No one ever wanted this
But they gave it to me
So I might as well be proud of it
I don't know why I've done something wrong
All I know now is I got to do something...
Right?
