Are we growing up or just going down?

It's just a matter of time until we're all found out

Take our tears and put them on ice

Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light

We're the therapists pumping through your speakers

Delivering just what you need

We're well read and poised

We're the best boys

We're the chemists who've found the formula

To make your heart swell and burst

No matter what they say, don't believe a word

Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll keep believing it

I'll keep singing this lie

I'll keep singing this lie

Are we growing up or just going down?

It's just a matter of time until we're all found out

Take our tears and put them on ice

Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light

We're traveled like gypsies

Only with worse luck and far less gold

We're the kids you used to love

But then we grew old

We're the lifers here till the bitter end

Condemned from the start

Ashamed of the way

The songs and the words own the beating of our hearts

Cause I'll keep singing this lie

I'll keep singing this lie

Are we growing up or just going down?

It's just a matter of time until we're all found out

Take our tears and put them on ice

Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light

There's a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up

And there's another around to help us bend your trust

I've got a sunset in my veins

And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay

The best part of "believe" is the "lie",

I hope you sing along and you steal a line

I need to keep you like this in my mind

So give in or just give up [x2]

Are we growing up or just going down?

Are we growing up or just going down?

It's just a matter of time until we're all found out

Take our tears and put them on ice

Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
