  • We are the ghosts of the midway, the beasts of the alley
    We are the living dead, living in your nightmares
    Scraping ourselves from the earth
    Living as though we are dirt
    Staring like you've seen a ghost
    The lowest of the low, with nowhere to go

    Back from the dead, now we're groveling at your feet
    Handcuffed for lying our heads as we're withering in the streets
    Back from the dead, now we're groveling at your feet
    Handcuffed for lying our heads as we're withering in the streets

    Fighting for your attention, begging for your generosity
    Looking up just to see you turn your cheek on me
    You walk on by like I'm invisible (invisible)
    All I want is to be seen as an equal

    We fought your battles, and we built your homes
    Sorry if I disturbed you
    I just wish we could live like you do

    Even in our most beautiful days it's dark
    Just look at the world around you
    There's a consequence for what we do
    Pass judgment on me as you walk
    Picture-perfect ain't my obsession
    You can't sum up my life from a first impression
    Learn your lesson

    Act like you know me, but do you even know yourself?
    When you got nothin', you got nothin' to lose
    Act like you know me, but do you even know yourself?
    When you got nothin', you got nothin' to lose

    I may have no-one else to blame, but listen to me
    You and I, we were once the same
    I may have no-one else to blame, but listen to me
    You and I, we were once the same
    I may have no-one else to blame, but listen to me
    You and I, we were once the same
    I may have no-one else to blame, but listen to me
    You and I, we were once the same Writer/s: Dustin Chad Davidson, John Benjamin Brubaker, Matthew Wilson Greiner, Rambler Brent Gerald, Willliam Jacob Luhrs
