Lyrics

Are we going up, or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
'Cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the lights

We're the therapists pumping through your speakers
Delivering just what you need
We're well read, and poised, we're the best boys
We're the chemists who found the formula
To make your heart swell and burst
No matter what they say, don't believe a word

'Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll keep believing it
I'll keep singing this lie, I'll keep singing this lie

Are we going up, or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
'Cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the lights

We've traveled like gypsies only
With worse luck and far less gold
The kids you used to love, but then we grew old
We're the lifers, here 'til the bitter end
Condemned from the start, ashamed of the way
The songs and the words own the beating of our hearts

'Cause I'll keep singing this lie, I'll keep singing this lie

Are we going up, or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
'Cause I swear i'd burn the city down to show you the lights

And there's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
And theress another around to help us bend your trust
Got a sunset in my veins
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel ok

The best part of believe is the lie
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
So give in or just give up.(x2)

Are we going up, or just going down?

Are we going up, or just going down?
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
'Cause I swear i'd burn the city down to show you the lights
