The Esses
Maybe I'm running away
Better than speaking what I got to say
I couldn't last a minute longer there
But we'll never understand these defects
Say hello to the hometown rejects
I can't count the things I need to leave behind
Brace yourself
If we go down so be it
Mayday
I think we're going under
And if we don't make it
Tell the world I said not to take it all so seriously but I'm still here
And I still remember you
So close but it still felt short
Can't be bitter from the lack of support
But I had to leave the place that left me in the shade
And yeah I said I would come back
But I'm being chased and I'm under attack
Let's skip the funeral and lay and decay
Brace yourself
If we go down so be it
Mayday
I think we're going under
And if we don't make it
Tell the world I said not to take it all so seriously but I'm still here
And I still remember you
Don't slow down, it's just getting testy
Gotta keep running or else they will catch me
I keep on moving for the million things that keep me breathing
And no I won't look back, out of reality and into the act
It's time to end the scene and close the curtains now
Brace yourself
If we go down so be it
Mayday
I think we're going under
Brace yourself
If we go down so be it
Mayday
I think we're sinking lower
Brace yourself
If we go down so be it
Mayday
I think we're going under
And if we don't make it
Tell the world I said not to take it all so seriously but I'm still here
And still I long for you
What will you say for all you've done
In a lifetime
Close the door and silently say
Your goodbyes
Go ahead and take one last look
At our humble demise
I ain't gonna read anymore into the way
We let things die
Better than speaking what I got to say
I couldn't last a minute longer there
But we'll never understand these defects
Say hello to the hometown rejects
I can't count the things I need to leave behind
Brace yourself
If we go down so be it
Mayday
I think we're going under
And if we don't make it
Tell the world I said not to take it all so seriously but I'm still here
And I still remember you
So close but it still felt short
Can't be bitter from the lack of support
But I had to leave the place that left me in the shade
And yeah I said I would come back
But I'm being chased and I'm under attack
Let's skip the funeral and lay and decay
Brace yourself
If we go down so be it
Mayday
I think we're going under
And if we don't make it
Tell the world I said not to take it all so seriously but I'm still here
And I still remember you
Don't slow down, it's just getting testy
Gotta keep running or else they will catch me
I keep on moving for the million things that keep me breathing
And no I won't look back, out of reality and into the act
It's time to end the scene and close the curtains now
Brace yourself
If we go down so be it
Mayday
I think we're going under
Brace yourself
If we go down so be it
Mayday
I think we're sinking lower
Brace yourself
If we go down so be it
Mayday
I think we're going under
And if we don't make it
Tell the world I said not to take it all so seriously but I'm still here
And still I long for you
What will you say for all you've done
In a lifetime
Close the door and silently say
Your goodbyes
Go ahead and take one last look
At our humble demise
I ain't gonna read anymore into the way
We let things die
