LYRICS


dodging bottles in the candlelight
save your energy and spend it on a tougher fight
I'd be lying if I said that we will be the same
I wish that I could save you
From the ceaseless heartbreak of
The powerless life
The powerless life

When they flip the switch and turn this house into a tomb
We'll set fires just to find our way across the rooms
Flicker on and off and burn away the summer night
Struggling when you wake up just to face another painful day of
The powerless life
the powerless life

hopelessly entangled in
the powerless life the powerless life
Wires in the walls run cold through
the powerless life the powerless life
Take it all I dare you to
the powerless life the powerless life
the powerless life the powerless life

I Don't run it I don't make the rules
But if I had my way I'd fuck with those who fucked with you
Those hated nameless faceless enemies
Sinking in the darkness
Feeling like you've lost it all to
The powerless life
The Powerless life

hopelessly entangled in
the powerless life the powerless life
Wires in the walls run cold through
the powerless life the powerless life
Take it all I beg you
the powerless life the powerless life
the powerless life the powerless life

Pull the blinds and break the windows out
We'll let a breeze run through this silent and defeated house
I don't know how I can set it right
Struggling when the night breaks through
To take another step into
The Powerless life, The Powerless life
