We Are The Few-Streetlight Manifesto

Album by: Everything Goes Numb Artist by: Streetlight Manifesto Dear mr gepetto: i hope this finds you well / i wrote this letter / because we miss you here in hell /// well now i know it’s hard when you don’t know what to think / and every single smile is a foil and you’re waking up / you might try but you won’t get by until you’re crucified for all the things you try to do / well i don’t care if you sink or swim / and i don’t care how you hold it in / as long as you don’t bother me with all the things i don’t bother you with / and 9 times out of 10 you might be right / but what about that time you know you’re wrong? / you sing that same song / and everybody smiles but they’ll never get along /// i’m trying and i’m trying and i’m trying and i’m trying to let go: but everybody’s going down tonight /// we are the few that won’t say nothing right / we are the footsteps fading into the night / nobody cares and nobody stares with such conviction and i say: i Never wanted this, no one ever wanted this / but they gave it to you so you might as well be proud of it / i don’t know where we went wrong / all i know now is i got to do something right /// come clean / no one should have to live with the things you’ve seen / but you’re living anyway / so i stop the car and i put her in park / and i step outside (god i hate this part) / when i see what i saw what i thought was a life that was more than a chore and just doing what i need to get by / i don’t care if you leave or stay / but you might as well split / because it’s not the same as it was / when we said our last goodbye / and if you want the truth: i was hoping one of us would pass away / because it’d be much easier then / we would all get together and think about when / we were young we were dumb we were numb but in love / and i’m done so i’m sending out this letter today /// i’m trying and i’m trying and i’m trying and i’m trying To let go: but everybody’s going down tonight /// this has been the best night of my life / this has been the best night of my life / i could have lost my life / and i would have lost my mind / but now i’m fine / and i find / that this has been the best night of my life (i still can’t believe they had the heart to apologize) /// and as the day fades / no one investigates / nobody answers as she calls his name / another victim, somewhere in a shallow grave / i want to hold her and tell her: it’s not your fault / and as the day fades / she tries to communicate / nobody answers so she cries in vain / another victim, somewhere in a shallow grave / i want to hold her and tell her: it’s not your fault
