[Verse 1]
The world is on fire, the damage is done
We're all animals lookin’ out for our own
Our own family, our own kind
Our own inscrutable state of mind
[Pre-Chorus]
What a shame that we live that way
'Cause we all come from the same
We all live and breathe and die and dream
In the same way
[Chorus]
And it only gets harder to breathe
The more air I let in my lungs
It only gets harder to speak
The more educated I become
I wanna believe in God
I'm just so skeptical of magic
Maybe Jesus and Houdini were friends
Maybe they’re both comin' back again
God only knows, I ain't holdin' my breath
[Verse 2]
You know, I can't believe we're lettin' her die
The world is a meteor and we're all on a ride
But still, we just take and waste away
Never givin’ back to the one who keeps us safe
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s such a shame that we live that way
'Cause we all come from the same
We all live and breathe and die and dream
In the same way
[Chorus]
And it only gets harder to breathe
The more air I let into my lungs
It only gets harder to speak
The more educated I become
I wanna believe in God
I’m just so skeptical of magic
Maybe Jesus and Houdini were friends
Maybe they're both comin' back again
God only knows
God only knows, I ain't holdin’ my breath
[Outro]
Woah, ahh
