D.O.A

I'm always on the run

From all the things I've never done

But I can never escape

Fluid in my lungs

I've been treading water for so damn long

You burn the books you never read

Because of what you think they said

I'm not dead on arrival

Though I'm up against the ropes

So I'll stare into the darkness

Just to see how deep it goes

Neon and silhouettes

Stare at the light and not yourself

Seems we don't bury our dead

We watch but we don't learn

Entertained but unconcerned

And unaware

You burn the books you never read

Because of what you think they said

But I'm not dead on arrival

Though I'm up against the ropes

So I'll stare into the darkness

Just to see how deep it goes

We're told to watch others live our dreams

So we all sit staring at the screens

The numbing warmth of the neon blue

Can't give me something to hold on to

I'm not dead on arrival

Though I'm up against the ropes

So I'll stare into the darkness

Just to see how deep it goes.
