Joke's On Us

(album: Envy - 2020)

We're like tree stumps with our feet stuck, we're rooted
In ignorance, indifferent and clueless
Breathing poison while destroying all that we touch
The joke's on us

This place has had its ambiance
Altered, and we ignore mistakes
Of our fathers, another bullet in
The chamber, listen as the echo lingers

Disregarding all the signs
Playing God and testing time

I never fought enough for the right things
I was too caught up till it was too late
Destroyed the evidence, the burden is heavy
My hands are bloodied
I can see the edge on the horizon
Never thought the end'd be so inviting
At the precipice, this burden's too heavy
And my hands are bloodied

Wake me up if I'm dreaming
Because I'm lost on this never-ending road
And I'm close to conceding
Wake me up, I just wanna go home

A pirouette, after landing on my feet, yeah
Running for cover, running for cover
Can't disconnect from the weight I'm carrying, no
Pushing me under

Disregarding all the signs
My future falling out of focus
Playing God and testing time
I really hope that no one noticed

I never fought enough for the right things
I was too caught up till it was too late
Destroyed the evidence, the burden is heavy
My hands are bloodied
I can see the edge on the horizon
Never thought the end'd be so inviting
At the precipice, this burden's too heavy
And my hands are bloodied

Wake me up if I'm dreaming
Because I'm lost on this never-ending road
And I'm close to conceding
Wake me up, I just wanna go home

The joke's on us
The joke's on us
Wake me up, I just wanna go home
The joke's on us
The joke's on us

I never fought enough for the right things
I was too caught up till it was too late
Destroyed the evidence, the burden is heavy
My hands are bloodied

Wake me up if I'm dreaming (running)
Because I'm lost on this never-ending road (running)
And I'm close to conceding
Wake me up, I just wanna go home

The joke's on us
The joke's on us
Wake me up, I just wanna go home
The joke's on us
The joke's on us
