Black Lungs & Dollar Signs

The sky hangs from it's last thread

and we're all scared, but I feel brave

I bleed from my mouth

for a lost cause, but it's my willing sacrifice



The kids draw death on the asphalt

as the office man walks by

with his eyes stitched tight

and his heart clogged up

The rain i catch in my hands

burns through the skin

down to the bones



Cheer on

Another year, we survived

Cheer on

Another ghost across the sky



And I figure you in the back of an ambulance

or gasping for air in a waiting room somewhere



And I can't help but to think

you're dead ten years from now

but so am I

At least my words march on

and all you'll be is a name

scribbled on eroded tombstone

And all you'll be is nothing but a name



Cheer on

Another year, we survived

Cheer on

Another ghost across the sky



The sky hangs from it's last thread

and we're all scared, but I feel brave

I bleed from my mouth

for a lost cause
