lyrics
can you describe the weight
when this became your fate
you wanted a job that would make a difference
but this can’t be what you had in mind
unkneel and hit rewind
and don’t accept that sentence
‘cause there are plans, and then there’s how it falls apart
we’re all just out here stumbling in the dark
there are plans and then there’s how it all works out
it’s like the whole world just tuned out
can you break the hold it has on our souls
and restore some common sense
‘cause it’s a trick how this blue light
swallows us up whole
and breaks down our defenses
‘cause there are plans, and then there’s how it falls apart
we’re all just out here stumbling in the dark
there are plans and then there’s how it all works out
it’s like the whole world just tuned out
and we tune in like it’s just fiction
close our eyes and flip right past the friction
a harmless addiction we can’t get rid of
and we become what we love
and we’re still glued to the screen
and the things we see are terrible and mean
the little lie they told made us believe that these are only pictures
‘cause there are plans, and then there’s how it falls apart
we’re all just out here stumbling in the dark
there are plans and then there’s how it all works out
it’s like the whole world just tuned out
