Settle, settle Where did we change along the way? Second place was just for suckers, The weak or led astray You can offer me reason why But I’ll find the liar through your eyes In this mess we created Promises unkept and misstated You’ll see there’s more to me But the truth is we’re lost in apathy They had no problem when they bled me dry From keg stands to powder kegs, All the best years of our young lives What’s it all for? A scripted piece of paper With a fancy fucking seal? Cash the check to nowhere or demise In this mess we created Promises unkept and misstated You’ll see there’s more to me But the truth is we’re lost in apathy Maybe I should have listened When they said to sell my soul But what’s the point of finer things When you’re never really whole? I haven’t climbed the ladder And I haven’t left this town But sworn to die, I promise you I’ll never let this world break me down In this mess we created Promises unkept and misstated You’ll see there’s more to me But the truth is we’re lost in apathy

I swear, I swear I’ve had enough This empty apartment shakes And I know, I know I can’t get out of this alone For all the ideal thoughts you shared with me It always mattered someplace Just never here, not now There’s no such thing as a heart of gold There’s no such thing as a heart of gold We’re chasing for a future Past the dock to that green light A beacon I believe in pulls away To show I’ve learned nothing at all Nothing at all I thought, I thought we had a chance At the top of the towers We spoke of love and eventuality Taking things for granted, just beyond our reach We weren’t contenders Just pretenders, liars, with every word we’d speak There’s no such thing as a heart of gold There’s no such thing as a heart of gold We’re chasing for a future Past the dock to that green light A beacon I believe in pulls away To show I’ve learned nothing at all Nothing at all There’s no such thing as a heart of gold There’s no such thing as a heart of gold There’s no such thing as a heart of gold There’s no such thing as a heart of gold We’re chasing for a future Past the dock to that green light A beacon I believe in pulls away To show I’ve learned nothing at all Nothing at all Nothing at all

Ready, aim, fire Only not in that order Indecisive and unimpressed On an impulse to pull yourself further Away from what you want Stuck in denial of our old haunts Repeat yourself, but this time’s the last Just know there are things you can’t take back I can’t believe I can’t believe We’re going down this road again Longing and lust is my best guess But a wavering mind is the killer of progress You’re torn on a long shot But the truth is you got caught And as hard as you try we just can’t forget Cheap perfume and cigarettes With a touch of whiskey on your breath In devil’s grace and drunk demand As he led you under, hand-in-hand I can’t believe I can’t believe We’re going down this road again Longing and lust is my best guess But a wavering mind is the killer of progress I can’t believe I can’t believe We’re going down this road again Longing and lust is my best guess But a wavering mind is the killer of progress Beautiful thoughts weather away With honest ideals and a brutal mistake When words precede the actions It’s hard for intentions to gain their traction Maybe I thought that it’d be proper To run to the door and beg to stop her I’ll tell myself that I was above But you were the closest thing to falling in love I can’t believe I can’t believe We’re going down this road again I can’t believe I can’t believe We’re going down this road again I can’t believe I can’t believe We’re going down this road again Longing and lust is my best guess But a wavering mind is the killer of progress
