[Verse 1]
Your help is on the way
Just sing yourself a song and wait
Nothing was promised in the first place
But we suffer for as long as we can take
Then the suffering, one way or the other
It will go away

[Verse 2]
It's quiet and you wake
You make the bed for two you always make
Though half-empty from some days before
He lay down on the kitchen floor
You struggled but you could not afford
The weight
And in a senseless moment
Everything you're working toward
Was taken away

[Verse 3]
So you sold everything that you didn't want
You sold everything that you didn't want
You sold everything that you didn't want to save
Yeah you sold everything that you didn't want
You sold everything you didn't want
And what you couldn't sell you gave away
Now you've a few years left give or take
And I think I should say
[Verse 4]
As long as you're waiting
As long as you're waiting
Since you have nothing to do with your hands
You might as well pray
I am no god-fearing man, but I am afraid
Of something that I cannot quite explain

[Verse 5]
So you sold everything that you didn't want
You sold everything that you didn't want
You sold everything you didn't want to save

[Bridge]
This marks a vulnerable part of me
I guess it runs in my family
I guess it runs in my family
Passing the fire down to me
I only fear for my family
I've got it in me
Got it in my genes

[Verse 6]
Misery loves company
So careful of the friends you keep
[Chorus 2x]
I wanna live but I don't wanna live
I wanna live but I don't wanna live
I wanna live but I don't wanna live
This thing is out there I don't know where it is

[Verse 7]
I'm waving the white flag, the fire's ceased
I don't want any enemies
I'm waving the white flag, the fire's ceased
I don't want any enemies
So why they still digging their claws in me?
