lyrics

These blinding lights, never shine like I thought they would.
My open eyes, are still the same.
I watched you leave, never stop to listen.
The last time your words, see tears on my face.

Were just matchbox people trying to survive in your world,
Get the bullshit down just to make it seem worthwhile,
And do you feel alive knowing there’s no one left beside you,
Cos in the matchbox world you know it’s all gonna be the same.

These empty streets, never stop to question,
How long we sleep, cos we’re never awake.
You watched me leave, never stop to listen.
Last time your words, scream tears on my face.

Were just matchbox people trying to survive in your world,
Get the bullshit down just to make it seem worthwhile,
And do you feel alive knowing there’s no one left beside you,
Cos in the matchbox world you know it’s all gonna be the same.

And where do you go when you’re lonely?
Where do you go when its cold?
Where do you cry when they’re listening?
There’s nowhere left for you to go home.

Were just matchbox people trying to survive in your world,
Get the bullshit down just to make it seem worthwhile,
And do you feel alive knowing there’s no one left beside you,
Cos in the matchbox world you know it’s all gonna be the same.

Cos we’re just matchbox people trying to survive in your world,
Get the bullshit down just to make it seem worthwhile.
