Shallow Anthem

Words can't fix this thing now it's broken
Not even poetic justice
Need to slow these voices down somehow
Carrying this cloud around me
& it's about time that these floodgates come open
Cause I can't get to sleep without it
Corners of my eyes looking sunken
So tell me what you know about it

Hidden down in the basement "taking chances"
You said "we don't need more of them up in this mansion"
Built this for the ride up, now it's crashing down
And the earth might turn itself a shallow anthem

Kid yourself
You don't know what you're signing yourself up for
Do you think this game is real enough for you die for?
Or worse
Does it make you feel whole again?
