Are we growing up or just going down
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the light

We're the therapists pumping through your speakers
Delivering just what you need
We're well read and poised, we're the best boys

We're the chemists who've found the formula
To make your heart swell and burst
No matter what they say, don't believe a word

Cause I'll keep singing this lie
If you'll keep believing it
I'll keep singing this lie
I'll keep singing this lie

Are we growing up or just going down
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light

We're traveled like gypsies only
With worse luck and far less gold
The kids you used to love but then we grew old

We're the lifers here til the bitter end
Condemned from the start
Ashamed of the way the songs and the words own the beating of our hearts

I'll keep singing this lie
I'll keep singing this lie

Are we growing up or just going down
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the light

And there's a [bad word] in the thermostat to warm the room up
And there's another around to help us bend your [bad word] I've got a sunset in my veins
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay

The best part of believe is the lie
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
So give in or just give up. (Whole verse x2)

Are we growing up or just going down

Are we growing up or just going down
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears, put 'em on ice
Cause I swear I'd burn the city down to show you the light
