joke's on us

Singer:framing hanley

we're like tree stumps with our feet stuck

we're rooted

in ignorance

indifferent and clueless

breathing poison while destroying all that we touch

the joke's on us

this place has had its ambiance

altered

and we ignore mistakes

of our fathers

another bullet in

the chamber

listen as the echo lingers

disregarding all the signs

playing god and testing time

i never fought enough for the right things

i was too caught up till it was too late

destroyed the evidence

the burden is heavy

my hands are bloodied

i can see the edge on the horizon

never thought the end'd be so inviting

at the precipice

this burden's too heavy

and my hands are bloodied

wake me up if i'm dreaming

because i'm lost on this never-ending road

and i'm close to conceding

wake me up

i just wanna go home

a pirouette

after landin' on my feet

yeah

runnin' for cover

runnin' for cover

can't disconnect from the weight i'm carrying

no

pushin' me under

disregarding all the signs

my future falling out of focus

playing god and testing time

i really hope that no one noticed

i never fought enough for the right things

i was too caught up till it was too late

destroyed the evidence

the burden is heavy

my hands are bloodied

i can see the edge on the horizon

never thought the end'd be so inviting

at the precipice

this burden's too heavy

and my hands are bloodied

wake me up if i'm dreaming

because i'm lost on this never-ending road

and i'm close to conceding

wake me up

i just wanna go home

the joke's on us

the joke's on us

wake me up

i just wanna go home

the joke's on us

the joke's on us

i never fought enough for the right things

i was too caught up till it was too late

destroyed the evidence

the burden is heavy

my hands are bloodied

wake me up if i'm dreaming

because i'm lost on this never-ending road

and i'm close to conceding

wake me up

i just wanna go home

the joke's on us

the joke's on us

wake me up

i just wanna go home
