Skins

We were young and free
Went on a living spree
We owned the world, we built it up
Owned a world, about to burst
It's playing on repeat
It's getting hard to see
Cause all the words we're spilling out
Locks our feet on the ground
Same old
Same old
Everyday on and on
Same old
Same old
We carry on
Same old
Same old
We never seem to stop, but in the end we dance till the light dies
We were diving deep
Your love put me to sleep
We long for lust it's cynical
Long for worse than we could hold
I can feel the lace but I can't feel a pulse
This is chemical, automatic moves
But everything you do
Locks our feet on the ground
Same old
Same old
Everyday on and on
Same old
Same old
We carry on
Same old
Same old
We never seem to stop, but in the end we dance till the light dies
Oh-o
As if nothing really matters
Oh-o
As if nothing really matters
How can we walk throughout the haze
How come we are so full of hate?
The sun is down, our bodies bend
You put your eyes on my lips, I put my hands on your hips
How can we go throughout the haze
How come we are so full of hate?
The sun is down, our bodies bend
You put your eyes on my lips, I put my hands on your hips
Same old
Same old
Everyday on and on
Same old Same old
We carry on
Same old
Same old
We never seem to stop, but in the end we dance till the light dies
As if nothing really matters
As if nothing really matters
Can we keep it away?
Can we keep it away?
Is this a godamn mistake?
Can we keep it away?
Can we give up on this?
The more we dance the less I feel
