Redemption

(album: We Are The Nearly Deads - 2023)

Everybody loves a damsel in distress
Everybody wants the front page a hot mess
Can't get enough of the car crash, the train wreck
Everybody's watching now
Everybody loves to stare 'cause they're obsessed
And all they wanna talk about is what you'll do next
They could give a fuck if you're lonely or depressed
They're gonna feed and feed 'cause they're possessed
Everybody loves a redemption story

Everybody loves a redemption story
But they never wanna help you when you're on the way down
They know the crash means a comeback
They wanna see if they can snatch your crown
When you're crying in the water gasping
They're gonna see if they can save themselves
And when they're safe on the ground
They'll sit back and watch you drown

Everybody loves a scandal, the outrage
Everybody wants to witness the rampage
Everybody's diving in page after page
Everybody wants you now
And they don't eat, they devour
Until they strip you of what's left of your power
And when you're at your lowest hour
That's when they want the redemption story

Everybody loves a redemption story
But they never wanna help you when you're on the way down
They know the crash means a comeback
They wanna see if they can snatch your crown
When you're crying in the water gasping
They're gonna see if they can save themselves
And when they're safe on the ground
They'll sit back and watch you drown
They'll watch you drown
Oh no no no
Oh no no no

Everybody loves a redemption story
But they never wanna help you when you're on the way down
They know the crash means a comeback
They wanna see if they can snatch your crown
When you're crying in the water gasping
You're gonna see if you can save yourselves
And when you're safe on the ground
Just sit back and let them drown

(Everybody loves a redemption story)
(Everybody loves a redemption story)
Drown, drown
Oh no
