Streetlight Manifesto - Watch It Crash lyrics
[Streetlight Manifesto - Watch It Crash lyrics]
Last night I woke alone with
A whisper in my ear
Recanting all my aspirations and my fears
And when the sun came up
That voice had disappeared
But it would linger on for years
It said "We can't just blame
It on our mothers
Claim everything they did was always wrong"
And there ain't no turning back
When our train is off it's track
And there's nothing we can do
But watch it crash (watch it crash)
And there ain't no right or wrong
When we know it won't be long
And there's nothing we can do
But watch it crash
So mercy, mercy, mercy me
Praying for the death of a
Man I'll never meet
Though everyone will know the truth
They'll still just make believe
Mercy, mercy me
"We can't just blame it on our mothers
Claim everything they did was always wrong"
And there ain't no turning back
When the train is off it's track
And there's nothing we can do
But watch it crash (watch it crash)
And there ain't no right or wrong
When we know it won't be long
And there's nothing we can do
But watch it crash
So mercy, mercy, mercy me
Praying for the death of a
Man I'll never meet
Though everyone will know the truth
They'll still just make believe
Mercy, mercy me
That's all they came for
That's all they took
That's all we had to offer, only dirty looks
And when they realized we'd
Given all we could
That's when they finally understood
Mercy, mercy, mercy me
Haunted by the memories of
Things we'll never see
Guilty for the statements that we'll
Never get to speak mercy, mercy me
"We can't quite blame it on our mothers
Claim everything they did was always wrong"
And there ain't no turning back
When your train is off it's track
And there's nothing we can do
But watch it crash
And there ain't no right or wrong
When we know it won't be long
And there's nothing we can do
But watch it crash watch it crash
And there's nothing we can do
But watch it crash
A whisper in my ear
Recanting all my aspirations and my fears
And when the sun came up
That voice had disappeared
But it would linger on for years
It said "We can't just blame
It on our mothers
Claim everything they did was always wrong"
And there ain't no turning back
When our train is off it's track
And there's nothing we can do
But watch it crash (watch it crash)
And there ain't no right or wrong
When we know it won't be long
And there's nothing we can do
But watch it crash
So mercy, mercy, mercy me
Praying for the death of a
Man I'll never meet
Though everyone will know the truth
They'll still just make believe
Mercy, mercy me
"We can't just blame it on our mothers
Claim everything they did was always wrong"
And there ain't no turning back
When the train is off it's track
And there's nothing we can do
But watch it crash (watch it crash)
And there ain't no right or wrong
When we know it won't be long
And there's nothing we can do
But watch it crash
So mercy, mercy, mercy me
Praying for the death of a
Man I'll never meet
Though everyone will know the truth
They'll still just make believe
Mercy, mercy me
That's all they came for
That's all they took
That's all we had to offer, only dirty looks
And when they realized we'd
Given all we could
That's when they finally understood
Mercy, mercy, mercy me
Haunted by the memories of
Things we'll never see
Guilty for the statements that we'll
Never get to speak mercy, mercy me
"We can't quite blame it on our mothers
Claim everything they did was always wrong"
And there ain't no turning back
When your train is off it's track
And there's nothing we can do
But watch it crash
And there ain't no right or wrong
When we know it won't be long
And there's nothing we can do
But watch it crash watch it crash
And there's nothing we can do
But watch it crash
