Lyrics

Drones

Blame me, cos you know

I'll absorb the things you cannot take

When you seize up

And when there's no one left to blame

Just blame me

It's your decision that you make

Black day, black night

Drones can feel it, touch it, but never have it

They just seize up

As long as you think you are free

You won't blame me

I could not wish this on my friends

And I hope you're happy now

There's no one left to blame

I shouldered everything you threw at me

You blamed me for everything

Held me, so tight

Your arms are like a dead weight pulling down

Against me

I always wanted to redeem

But not like this

I always want the longest laugh

Can you, admit

What you think is real may not exist

You ignore it

Take no responsibility

You just blame me

And you continue lashing out

And I hope you're happy now

There's no one left to blame

I shouldered everything you threw at me

You blamed me for everything

Because I will absorb all the things you can't take

Like the world and your problems and things you can't say

Cos I'm ??????

And I hope you're happy now

There's no one left to blame

I shouldered everything you threw at me

I blame you for everything
