Left Behind Generation (feat. Eleanor Forte)

Twiddling our thumbs as the monotony
Starts to drain every ounce of passion from our brains
Welcome to the real world, you soon will see that
Everybody buries down their pain

Leave us in the dust with a one two punch
Of the labels and the promises you fed us all
Looking back on what you said I kinda get a hunch
That you built us up like Rome to see us fall

Oh, playing pretend, praying that one day this will end
All of us already know the support's for show, and they all let go
Maybe one day, one day
We won't have to take our mistakes to the grave
Give your heart and your soul, down to the bone, just to fight alone

So tell us
How can we keep on living life?
As every other person passes by
We cross our hearts and hope to die another million times

And if all of the effort was in vain
If nothing was ever worth the pain
We'll try again
Until the end

Inherit a world that's doomed to fail
Nothing we can do to tip the scales
Shield your eyes from the nasty details
Nothing we can do when we're tied to the rails

Tired, uninspired, It's down to the wire
No matter what we try it'll always backfire
Call us all liars, throw our futures in the pyre
Require the entire world to bury their desires

Say it again, tell us that it's all in our heads
Have us fighting toe to toe, like a circus show, with nowhere to go
Maybe one day, one day
We won't have to put our mistakes on display
Give your heart and your soul down to the bone just to prove you've grown

Live a life of wasted potential
Deem all of our dreams inessential
Ask us again, ask us again
Ask us why we keep our hate confidential

You know it's kind of sad
The passion you had was impressive
My only question's
When did it all go bad?

So tell me
Why I should keep on living life
While every other person passes by
I'll cross my heart and hope to die another million times

And if all of the effort was in vain
If nothing was ever worth the pain
We'll sit and obey just to get thrown away

So tell us
How can we keep on living life?
As every other person passes by
We cross our hearts and hope to die another million times

And if all of the effort was in vain
If nothing was ever worth the pain
We'll close our eyes
Breathe out a sigh
Too weak to wish
This world goodbye
