Armageddon

One night we lay beside each other

So close to a sweat

With two fans circling overhead

We sleep on borrowed time

And the traffic lights direct empty roads

The stars can't break the city sky

But they still try despite what they know is already true

And tomorrow we'll take aim

Just like a storm waiting for a calm

I can feel everything coming in my chest

My heart's already pounding

My head's on far-off highways

Sixteen years old

On a road that never ends

Might drive into something that looks like a sunset

And it lasts forever

And I never look back

From hoboken to l.a.

From portland to gainesville

From the great plains to niagara

Route 66 straight to california

Electric lights carry the night

We move in 4/4 time

Our feet on wheels and in the sky

Yes we're going, cause we'd die if we stayed here

And those dying dreams will carry what's good and real and pure

And the rest can burn in hell

And for the four-year-old girl found dead in a dumpster

Shot by her mother

Her eulogys the sound of construction through head-to-head traffic

Today is just another day

And me and my friends are just growing into the drunks and the liars that we've always hated

Every shortcoming has trapped us

Every mistake is now our own infinite failure

So we steal every chance we get

Every advantage is taken when no one's looking

We hide behind closed doors

And we don't stop until

We are the people we've decided we should be

I wanna be a shot heard round the world,

fucking unstoppable

This distance is not something we'll regret

From here, and now, and today, and forever

And days after that till the very end

From hoboken to l.a.

From portland to gainesville

From the great plains to niagara

Route 66 straight to california

Electric lights carry the night

We move in 4/4 time

Our feet on wheels and in the sky

Yes we're going, cause we'd die if we stayed here

And those dying dreams will carry what's good and real and pure

And the rest can burn in hell

And the rest can burn in hell
