Lyrics:
See us come runnin' from nothin'
Fool the grave, looking for somethin'
We're not lost, we're just losing
All we used to hold us together

If you take a road out from an army
If you stare the sun out of the sky
Take a voice back from the ventriloquist
Breathing cigarettes and talkin' in gibberish

Inside out when you get older
Rain birds singing over your shoulder
Dead sun rays givin' me shivers
Throw my soul in a river of mirrors

For all we know, this is all we need
For all we know, this is all we need
I need air now, I can't breathe
For all we know, this is all we need

Let the fireworks drown in the gutter
Let the battery run down the lights
Yesterday they crowned a samaritan
Cowboy magician with infantilized fiction

I don't care, I don't care anymore
Get these plastic fangs out of my neck
It's so easy to tune it all out again
Fate is contagious when saints are impatient

Down another rung
Slipping down now
Down another rung
Slipping down now
Down another rung
Slipping down now
Down another rung
Slipping down now
Down and down
The ladder we go

Down another rung
Slipping down
Down another rung
Slipping down
