Ruined And Brave

I fought it off til i became a professional at losing traction and calling it fashion.

they wish that you were,

they wish that we were something we aren't.

when the room fills with smoke,

they'll be watching you choke,

they'll be watching us choke.

and when the pills stop working,

i'm so scared we won't know.

and if we live to get old on our own,

against that cold,

i'll be there too late.

you'll be frozen in place,

standing up straight,

ruined and brave.

i'll be there too late.

you'll be frozen in place,

standing up straight,

ruined and brave,

but they'll see that.

but they'll see that,

and they'll know that you couldn't fight it off.

if i see that,

if i see that,

then i'll know.

if i see that,

then i'll know that i,

i couldn't help you fight it off,

but i tried.
