lyrics

Lost in translation for the message here
And what I’m supposed to see
The problem is you see right through me
There’s got to be a lesson
Just to make some goddamn sense
Of all the people that we’ve scattered
Or was this just supposed to be?

If there’s no math to loss and love
To find out what you’re made of
We could rule the world like kings
If we could see the sky above
If I could just escape this place
I know that I’d be fine
Absent of a shortcut
All we’ve left is to survive

If there’s a second for an exit here
And how this ought to be
The problem was it fell so simply

If there’s no math to loss and love
To find out what you’re made of
We could rule the world like kings
If we could see the sky above
If I could just escape this place
I know that I’d be fine
Absent of a shortcut
All we’ve left is to survive

You always wanted to know
If we could find other places to go

If there’s no math to loss and love
To find out what you’re made of
We could rule the world like kings
If we could see the sky above
If there’s no math to loss and love
To find out what you’re made of
We could rule the world like kings
If we could see the sky above
If I could just escape this place
I know that I’d be fine
Absent of a shortcut
All we’ve left is to survive
