[Verse 1]
Everywhere I turn, there's a life on the line
A cure for a price and fuck it, there's an elephant in the room
Turn the page, another headline that you already knew
Paint the picture of a lie behind the truth
We're on a flatline in a sorry state of affairs
Losing the will to live like we're going nowhere
They put the frighteners on us but we all hide something

[Pre-Chorus]
Enough is enough
I keep asking myself why us?
Enough is enough
I keep killing myself because

[Chorus]
You said we're only as strong as the fears we confront on the way
They won't find me praying for a hero that hides like our tears from the pain
While the angels sing
"Everything will be okay"
Cross my fingers, point the blame
(I don't believe a word they say)
"Everything will be okay"
Cross my fingers, point the blame
(I don't believe a word they say)
