lyrics

When's this band gonna end?
And when did I begin to get this jaded? I hate it.
When's this weather going to change?
It won't stop snowing in my brain. I hate it. That's an understatement.

Holy wars are raging and I'm afraid,
of the ice caps melting and the end of days.
But still, you never come down on me.

Where do you find the strength to suffer through this fool's embrace?
I hate it, when I get this vacant.
And, what's the point of making up if permanence is my crux?
But we made it, and I don't hate it.

Our freedom's fading and I'm afraid,
of privacy invasion and an early grave.
But still, you never come down on me.

When's this band gonna start?
And when did I stop speaking from the heart?
I hate it, I'm fading.

The markets are crashing and I'm afraid,
of our drinking water and the boogie man.
But still, you never come down on me.

When's this song gonna end?
When there's nothing left to defend.
