Lyrics

Apathy

[Verse 1]

Tell me something I can do

To feel alive once more anew

I see the distance in your eyes

That tells me more than words could prove

I know that time can be unfair

A different show, a different bed

Everyday now feels the same

And our perspective doesn't change

[Pre-Chorus]

Prepare for every battle pledged

And open up this argument

That says we never did resolve this mess

But at least we can relieve this silence

[Chorus]

This apathy will never truly be

The thing that broke us down back in our teens

But I can see we're definitely in need

Of intensity to break this numbing pain so I can feel again

[Verse 2]

Some might say you're in a rut

There's not much more you could fuck up

Take it day by day, my mate, don't waste away and stick a finger to bad luck

In this life, we try to hard to be the ones who come out on top

[Pre-Chorus]

And I for one would place the blame on a broken youth

[Chorus]

This apathy will never truly be

The thing that broke us down back in our teens

But I can see we're definitely in need

Of intensity to break this numbing pain so I can feel again

So I can feel again

[Bridge]

I got the dirt off my shoulder

'Cause I know we're getting older day by day

I got the dirt off my shoulder

'Cause I know we're getting older day by day

And I always want to feel this way

'Cause day by day it's still worth it

Because nothing compares to this

[Chorus]

This apathy will never truly be

The thing that broke us down back in our teens

But I can see we're definitely in need

Of intensity to break this numbing pain so I can feel again

[Chorus]

This apathy will never truly be

The thing that broke us down back in our teens

But I can see we're definitely in need

Of intensity to break this numbing pain so I can feel again
