Smash this machine I'm scared I'm terrified Try to guess where lightning strikes Welcome to my landmine life This is too familiar Get me off my knees I know I have it in me to Smash this machine I'm scared I'm terrified Dodged the bullet, I'll be fine Welcome to me landmine life Terrified But I'll keep moving on Terrified I'll sing this 'til my voice is gone Terrified I've got matches and a skyline Terrified I'll just keep moving on

Debris 03:36
There's something wrong here Communication breakdown The calendar was counting x's But I waited for you to come around Twisted tongues are all we have in common now You could walk alone But why would you just ignore the fading eyes and warning signs? You could walk alone You could walk alone, but why would you? Now there's a divide here Words have failed us now Two sides to this matchstick line Life on a fence won't make this right So I'll watch myself explode tonight You could walk alone But why would you just ignore the fading eyes and warning signs? You could walk alone You could walk alone, but why would you? Why would you? Why would you turn your back on me? A whirlwind of defensive debris This unfocused feeling Spits words with no meaning Turn your back on me A whirlwind of defensive debris This unfocused feeling Spits words with no meaning Now this cloud hangs over our heads tonight And I don't know what we are Now this cloud hangs over our heads tonight But I'll hold out for things to be alright You could walk alone But why would you just ignore the fading eyes and warning signs? You could walk alone You could walk alone Increase the distance just to pass the time You could, you could walk alone, but why would you? There's something wrong here
