Lyrics

doomscrolling

No betting on tomorrow, but we all love a tragedy
Come drown in our sorrow and see the world as it oughta be
Delete another day
Doomscrolling, sat beneath my shadow
Keep loading, nothing here is hallowed, oh
Come see the world as it oughta be
Delete another day

This path is growing kinda narrow
With rotten roses all the way
No guarantees it'll carry me, nobody ordered me to swallow

I wanna know, are we the bow or the arrow?
Go take a dive where the waters are shallow
We can swim the undertow
Swim the undertow, swim the undertow

No betting on tomorrow, but we all love a tragedy
Come drown in our sorrow and see the world as it ought to be
Delete another day
Doomscrolling, at beneath my shadow
Keep loading, nothing here is hallowed, oh
Come see the world as it ought to be
Delete another day

We saw the flaw right from the get-go
Who knew the hell we had to pay?
We like to please 'cause we're devotees
Hopefully, God is at the gallows

I wanna know, are we the bow or the arrow?
Go take a dive where the waters are shallow
We can swim the undertow
Swim the undertow, swim the undertow

No betting on tomorrow, but we all love a tragedy
Come drown in our sorrow and see the world as it ought to be
Delete another day
Doomscrolling, sat beneath my shadow
Keep loading, nothing here is hallowed, oh
Come see the world as it ought to be
Delete another day

God, save our souls

Let's take the flame and hold it closer to the fuse
We're well aware that we've got everything to lose
We're singing, "We don't wanna know"
"We don't wanna know, we don't wanna know"
We kick the habit, then we let the fire loose
It doesn't matter when there's water at the roots
We're singing, "We don't wanna know"
"We don't wanna know, we don't wanna know"

Let's take the flame and hold it closer to the fuse
We're well aware that we've got everything to lose
We're singing, "We don't wanna know"
"We don't wanna know, we don't wanna know"
God, save our souls
We kick the habit, then we let the fire loose
It doesn't matter when there's water at the roots
We're singing, "We don't wanna know"
"We don't wanna know, we don't wanna know"

No betting on tomorrow, but we all love a tragedy
Come drown in our sorrow and see the world as it ought to be
