Miming In The Choir features the addition of a child choir, albeit the children are the siblings of John’s girlfriend. The children provide a haunting addition to the track as it speaks on the idea that it might be better trying something else for a career.
[Verse 1]
I have something I'm afraid of
The answer to my problems
A reason to not be fucked up anymore
The truth is, I don't want to change
I guess I'm happy with my damaged ways
I hate the water, but I like the sound when the ice breaks
[Pre-Chorus]
We are the common folk
We live our lives to die alone
And share our beds when the nights get cold
[Chorus]
(All you wanted was to burn out young
But the feeling is gone
And you can’t get it back now)
All I wanted was to be someone
(All you wanted was to burn out young
But the feeling is gone
And you can’t get it back now)
I don't want no empty seats
When they lower me down
(All you wanted was to burn out young)
I wanna care when the lights go out
[Verse 2]
Nicotine sweats and coffee breath
I thought there was so much more than this
When I look back at everything I've touched
I see the lives I've ruined in each fingerprint
[Pre-Chorus]
We are the common folk
We live our lives to die alone
And share our beds when the nights get cold
[Chorus]
(All you wanted was to burn out young
But the feeling is gone
And you can’t get it back now)
All I wanted was to be someone
(All you wanted was to burn out young
But the feeling is gone
And you can’t get it back now)
I don't want no empty seats
(All you wanted was to burn out young)
When they lower me down
I wanna care when the lights go out
[Bridge]
We can't sleep, we can't dream
We are miming in the choir
We can't sleep, we can't dream
We are miming in the choir
We can't sleep, we can't dream
We are miming in the choir
We can't sleep, we can't dream
We are miming in the choir
[Outro]
(All you wanted was to burn out young
But the feeling is gone
And you can’t get it back now)
All I wanted was to be someone
(All you wanted was to burn out young
But the feeling is gone
And you can’t get it back now)
I don't want no empty seats
When they lower me down
(All you wanted was to burn out young
But the feeling is gone
And you can’t get it back now)
(We can't sleep, we can't dream
We are miming in the choir)
(All you wanted was to burn out young
But the feeling is gone
And you can’t get it back now)
I wanna care when the lights go out
All I want is to be someone
I don't want no empty seats
When they lower me down
(We can't sleep, we can't dream
We are miming in the choir)
I have something I'm afraid of

Vocalist John Floreani explained this to Hysteria Magazine:
Okay, so the choruses of ‘'Miming In The Choir’‘ — I was writing that at my girlfriend’s parents’ house. We were there for a few days and I had my setup with me, so I went into one of the rooms there and was just writing it onto my Mac—it’...
John Floreani elucidated the song’s meaning to Depth Magazine:
That song’s about being in a place where you’re a total addict and a dropkick and being empty, and realising I’m not actually living my life, I’m just getting through it. “Miming in the Choir” means to be like doing something but not ac...
