Lyrics

[00:09.84] Why are we so obsessed with cutting skin
[00:14.68] When the real things in our lives can't get in?
[00:25.24] Marching to the same drum
[00:28.73] Every single beat's gone
[00:31.00] I can hear the dark days coming
[00:35.10] Another generation
[00:37.43] Fighting for attention
[00:39.62] Can't you see I'm tired of running?
[00:42.82] There's a house in the forest
[00:47.44] Where her days are forgotten
[00:51.77] By the lake, she dropped her dreams
[00:55.41] And now they've sunk to the bottom
[00:59.93] Oh, beauty queen
[01:03.75] It's only skin deep
[01:06.77] It's only thin sheets
[01:11.87] There's no audience
[01:15.95] Oh, beauty queen
[01:19.68] Something's telling me
[01:23.59] That you were never meant to be
[01:28.05] Trapped in time
[01:32.80] Why are we holding hands like paper chains?
[01:40.46] Why are we so content to stay the same?
[01:48.24] Marching to the same drum
[01:50.70] Every single beat's gone
[01:52.78] I can hear the dark days coming
[01:56.35] Another generation
[01:58.59] Fighting for attention
[02:00.62] Can't you see I'm tired of running?
[02:03.70] There's a girl I remember
[02:07.47] Who was everyone's dream
[02:11.33] Now her face has become her
[02:15.83] It's the saddest thing you'll ever see
[02:19.74] Oh, beauty queen
[02:23.33] It's only skin deep
[02:26.79] It's only thin sheets
[02:30.62] There's no audience
[02:35.48] Oh, beauty queen
[02:39.36] Something's telling me
[02:43.05] That you were never meant to be
[02:47.26] Trapped in time
[02:54.70] Oh, oh, oh, oh
[02:58.48] Oh, oh, oh, oh
[03:02.40] Oh, oh, oh, oh
[03:07.42] There's a house in the forest
[03:11.37] Where her days are forgotten
[03:15.48] By the lake she dropped her dreams
[03:19.08] Now they've sunk to the bottom
[03:25.09] Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
[03:29.61] Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
[03:32.85] Oh, oh oh oh oh
[03:36.39] Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
[03:39.76] Oh, beauty queen
[03:42.95] It's only skin deep
[03:46.59] It's only thin sheets
[03:51.15] There's no audience
[03:55.27] Oh, beauty queen
[03:58.83] Something's telling me
[04:02.38] That you were never meant to be
[04:06.82] Trapped in time
