The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You're on your own now, we're tired of lending hands

A new agenda, it cuts you from all our plans

So get in line boy, and keep that mouth of yours closed

i'll need opinions, just work them hands to bones

We stood in places, watched us tear us apart

cut us open, and ripped out all our parts

but we kept quiet, we let them have their way

We made our point by having nothing to say

We all broke up right on cue

We'll take you down with us too

Better jump ship, this bastard is sinking fast

nothing to save here

our word has all but passed,

the muddy waters are slippin it in through the grass

the ship, the ship, the ship is sinkin, the ship, the ship, the ship is sinkin

We sit on our hands and watched it all fall no one thinks that I I I I I

theres not much worth saving

just lots of buildings

we concrete the blue skies

and you came and picked us up

you combed our hair, and made us look like people

and we learned to feed ourselves again

we built some homes and filled them full of clones

but we wont wait till you get back

we'll be gone long before you arive

we were never built to last

but we'd like to tell ya

thanks for the good times, it was nice to have known ya

we'll all be just fine, and we'll try to like ya

we appreciate the lies, but were done believing you
