You build me up, you build me up
You build me up from the ground
Only to knock me down
I'm not enough, never enough
Never enough for you to want to stay
I'll be the first one gone
Be the first to say

This nightmare's only just beginning
So best that we escape it while we can

All of the time we wasted wallowed deep inside our realms
Maybe we've just allowed ourselves to float away, drift astray

You talked me into this
My heart knew better and
Listening to it is a safer bet
I let you push me over

Your tyranny, monocracy

And my fatuity
I never thought you'd try
To take me lying down
Won't catch me crying now

With one fist in a fighting stance
Guess I should run while I still have a chance

I don't know where we stand we're never brave enough to say
Maybe we've always faced it now we float away, drift astray

You won't be the first to leave
Just never had the heart to tell it to you straight
So watch me break out babe
Watch me fly away

All of the time we wasted wallowed deep inside our realms
Maybe we've just allowed ourselves to float away
I don't know where we stand we're never brave enough to say
Maybe we've always faced it now we float away, drift astray
Drift astray x3
