Lyrics

decay

[Chorus]

We're poor yeah we're broke

& no one knows what's going on

So I say

Burn it to the ground

Let's smoke 'em out

Until we've found a new way

[Verse 1]

Do you feel like you know me

What a pointless thing to say

شخصيتك صعبه عليا شوية

شكلك حس ان انا مش هسيبك ليه؟

Look down you're getting nowhere

Shark tank & there's no air

Fighting demons, they're filming laughing

Oh I can't believe you would go there

[Pre-Chorus]

My first mistake

Hearing you mention

Another thing you hate

You need intervention

You're here to stay

Hey can't you feel it?

Thеre's parts to play

And you're adhering

[Chorus]

Wе're poor, yeah, we're broke

& no one knows what's going on

So I say

Burn it to the ground

Let's smoke em out

Until we've found a new way

There's no point in conversation

They've sat back

Watched our frustration

مش لازم نقعد نزهق

For you to listen

We'll drag you in the decay

[Verse 2]

I'm over being over-simulated

Don't you hate it?

Make a difference

[?]

And there's nothing anyone could do about it

Honestly I'm so wrapped up in it now

I'm not even convinced I can live without

[Pre-Chorus]

My first mistake

Hearing you mention

Another thing you hate

You need intervention

You're here to stay

Hey can't you feel it?

There's parts to play

And you're adhering

[Chorus]

We're poor, yeah, we're broke

& no one knows what's going on

So I say

Burn it to the ground

Let's smoke em out

Until we've found a new way

There's no point in conversation

They've sat back

Watched our frustration

مش لازم نقعد نزهق

For you to listen

We'll drag you in the decay
