  • We'll never say, we'll never say mayday

    Welcome to the end, just take a number
    (Just get used to the influence you're under)
    It's the same old story of
    Wanting it all but it's never enough
    The more you know, you know, you know nothing

    We walk like dead people who haven't died yet
    We ride like passengers without a pilot
    We be losing our minds, but we all try to hide it
    It's hard to keep fighting when you're barely surviving

    We'll never say, we'll never say mayday

    (Just wait in line for your rights and your privilege)
    Then follow the leader right off the cliffs edge
    All your dreams are down below
    Buried under broken bones
    The more you know, you know, you know nothing

    We walk like dead people who haven't died yet
    We ride like passengers without a pilot
    We be losing our minds, but we all try to hide it
    It's hard to keep fighting when you're barely surviving

    Calm down, we'll be okay
    Just some turbulence, we're on our way
    We're going down, but not today
    We'll never say mayday

    We walk like dead people who haven't died yet
    We ride like passengers without a pilot
    We be losing our minds, but we all try to hide it
    It's hard to keep fighting when you're barely surviving

    We walk like dead people who haven't died yet
    We ride like passengers without a pilot
    We be losing our minds, but we all try to hide it
    It's hard to keep fighting when you're barely surviving

    We're still alive
    We're losing our minds

    We'll never say, we'll never say mayday
    We'll never say, we'll never say mayday Writer/s: Adam Gontier, Barry Stock, Brad Walst, Matt Walst, Neil Sanderson, Ted Bruner, Zakk Cervini
