This criminal
Walked into my room
He asked me
Why do you live this way?
Think of all you could have,
What I would take

Well, have you got a clue?
Why do you live this way?
Why do you?
Think of all I'd take

You think that I don't know
you think that I don't know
You're wrong
You're wrong

You think that I don't know
you think that I don't know
You're wrong
You're wrong

And to god
I called out
Over bullets
They were in and out, man
And it was my end
At least I called into question
Why we walk this route
What is for me in it

The way the light hits the room
The way I am unable to protect you
Oh I'm running away
I will never forgive myself
For running away from you

He came back to her house
I didn't take it as a promise
Always thought it was a lie
He went too far the fucker
It's not like I owe him money
This is different

So gather your strength and break free
Or you will surely die
So gather your strength don't follow me
'Cause I will surely die

Way my eyes cannot move
Way I hope to be protected
And for one moment I thought
That I was lost among the lights of houses

He came back to her house
I didn't take it as a promise
Always thought it was a lie
He went too far the fucker
It's not like I owe him money
This is different

So gather your strength and break free
Or you will surely die
So gather your strength don't follow me
'Cause I will surely die

My dreams
Dreams of violence
See them coming true

My dreams
Dreams of violence
See them coming true

He came back to her house
I didn't take it as a promise
Always thought it was a lie
He went too far the fucker
It's not like I owe him money
This is different

So gather your strength and break free
Or you will surely die
So gather your strength don't follow me
'Cause I will surely die

We traded our secrets for shortcuts and blankets
We mapped out our futures as crowds drew around us
Held artless embraces like gaslight romantics
Who never expected the end so soon.

(Ah)
With the cold dead eyes of ex-ramshackle DJs
Falling off the plane like, I'm sorry how you missed the parade
(We drifted apart, we drifted apart)
Picking through the rubble with the ghosts of the Astoria
(So leave the wrecking ball)
Let the bodies in the club match the bodies in the ground
Say NEVER. NEVER!

Misplace yr confidence
These boys are only atoms
Here's happy hour for the wallflowers;
Where do I stand?
Misplace yr confidence
These rooms won't always be this dark
Here's happy hour for the wallflowers

So yr town's run by criminals
Closed yr clubs and sold you out, for what?
Yr town's run by criminals
They sold you out, they sold you out
Yr town's run by criminals
Sold you out and closed yr clubs, for what?
Yr town's run by criminals
You're almost all, you're almost all that's left

(Ah)
There's so many shards that some are bound to fall together
Shooting from the roof while the record stores are crumbling
(We drifted apart, we drifted apart)
Saving up yr time, saving yr sick days for something
(So let the sparks fly)
Let the length of the queue, let the length of yr skirt say NEVER. NEVER!

Misplace yr confidence
These boys are only atoms
Here's happy hour for the wallflowers;
Where do I stand?
Misplace yr confidence
These rooms won't always be this dark
Here's happy hour for the wallflowers

So yr town's run by criminals
Closed yr clubs and sold you out, for what?
Yr town's run by criminals
They sold you out, they sold you out
Yr town's run by criminals
Sold you out and closed yr clubs, for what?
Yr town's run by criminals
You're almost all, you're almost all that's left

(I wish cameras could capture this)

Yr town's run by criminals
Closed yr clubs and sold you out, for what?
Yr town's run by criminals
They sold you out, they sold you out
Yr town's run by criminals
Sold you out and closed yr clubs, for what?
Yr town's run by criminals
You're almost all, you're almost all that's left

Another weekend comes, I got nowhere to go
So get real high and head to your window
Watch perfect faces living perfect lives
'Til something snaps inside.

Now everything looks just like a horror cartoon
And I'm thinking of something that I know I shouldn't do
But nobody knows me and nobody cares
And damn, I feel alive.

You think you know who we are.
Well, you don't know us at all.

We are criminals
The arsonists, the thieves, the rapists.
Save yourself.
You put us in cages but you made us criminals.
Lost inside your american dreams,
we'll carry this for the quarantine.

Now I'm running away
Just like a clumsy? machine
And a memory follows like a horrible dream
But I prove to myself I can do anything
And damn, I feel alive

We are criminals
The arsonists, the thieves, the rapists.
Save yourself.
You put us in cages but you made us criminals.
Lost inside the american dream,
we'll carry this for the quarantine.

For every town that I've been lied to,
Been cheated, beaten down,
Revenge is such a glamorous feeling
I've been craving for so long.
And when you sleep at night,
Believe me, I'll be there in the dark
'Cause we've got nothing to lose
And we don't care who you are.

The rich, the beautiful
You don't mean a thing to a scorched earth.
Parasites in paradise,
Our time has come to change your life.

We are criminals

The rich, the beautiful
You don't mean a thing to a scorched earth.
Parasites in paradise,
Our time has come to change your life.

The disenchanted, we revolution to change your life.
We're now at war with our future.
