lyrics

I spend my time in public places
looking for people to save.
Simultaneously ahead of the danger
while pretending to myself I'm brave.

but if you look close enough
you'll see it in my eyes.
I'm a coward in a hero's disguise.

He spends his days locked in a battle
between two sides of his own mind
War has scarred a once fine kingdom
Now he rules over a vast divide.

And at night he finds it hard to be a king
when it feels like his own walls are crumbling.

We do our best to get by
'stay out of trouble and keep your head down'
We are the ones who never ask why.
We stand and watch, we hang our heads
Too scared to lie in our made beds
we'll be the ones who let life pass us by.

But maybe it's time to make a scene.
Maybe it's time to leave the past behind.
If you want we can use our debts to wipe the slate clean
and oh, we could start afresh
if you know what's truly best.
If you want what's truly best.

We do our best to get by
'stay out of trouble and keep your head down'
This is our chance to find out why
We stand and watch, high hold our heads
We'll make our choice and lie in our beds
we'll be the ones who never let life pass by again.
