Placebo

Forget about the light, forget the days
We bleed we laugh we burn we die we take
We couldn't hope for a better reaction from a thief
Who burns a whole through his mattress
Every time he falls asleep
Yea every time I fall asleep

Breathe it in
He hopes he'll never feel it again
Breathe it in
Placebo

When his eyes show all of his shame
He's got a game to play
Like a liar up on a stage
He's got a game to play
Just to make him feel okay

I've never been in a knife fight
But I was raised in the ghetto
I stayed sheltered from the night life
But my brother said hello
Can you teach me to be a man
My dad he just doesn't know how to
Sitting alone in a room with the doors barred
Hoping that the kids don't see what are now scars
Thanks darkness you taught him so much
But you couldn't make him heartless
Taught him so much
But you couldn't take away the shame
Living everyday the same pain in his brain
Yeah it's just the way it is
You can take life or conquer it
Even when everything is shit
You can cave in or bury it

Can't make us heartless
You can take anything from us
You can take everything from us
Can't make us heartless
You can take anything from us
You can take everything

Breathe it in
He hopes he'll never feel it again
Breathe it in
