[Spoken Intro] That sounded so awful (so awful, so awful) [Verse 1] I am a loathsome person, trapped in this lonesome world My mind is hazy. I’m not lazy, I just have no purpose I’m like a filthy carpet waiting to be unfurled Used to be needed, role depleted, now I’m just a burden It’s like we’re strangers now, but we used to be best friends It’s all the same. You had your game, but I’m an awful player Did everything I could to attempt to make amends But then you left, now I’m bereft, I feel like such a failure [Pre-Chorus 1] I’ve spent my whole life chasing fallacies Every moment is a different reality Guaranteed, you’ve not seen the last of me Rivers Cuomo [Chorus] When peace is violent, we will all face our fears As we attempt to fill in all this empty space My screams are silent when they enter your ears Because I know you never cared in the first place Shine like a diamond, see your face in your tears Then we’ll sit together and watch the world erase Changing the climate of the next couple years Will do nothing but put us all at an arms race [Verse 2] Wish I could leave this place, I Can’t look to you for help My head’s an empty space, I’d Like to be someone else But there’s a shard in my heart I reached the end at the start My life is falling apart [Pre-Chorus 2] I’ve spent all my life chasing fallacies Every moment is a different reality Guaranteed, you’ve not seen the last of me Never solo [Chorus] When peace is violent, we will all face our fears As we attempt to fill in all this empty space My screams are silent when they enter your ears Because I know you never cared in the first place Shine like a diamond, see your face in your tears Then we’ll sit together and watch the world erase Changing the climate of the next couple years Will do nothing but put us all at an arms race [Outro] When peace is violent My screams are silent When peace is violent My screams are silent
