lyrics

you've got all us wandering, running around
you've got all us wandering, running around
you've got all us wandering, running around
you've got all us wandering, running around

and you don't see the things that mean something to you
and you don't know the price of the things that you do
you're a child with intent on killing the world with...

you've got all us wandering, running around
you've got all us wandering, running around
take the top and remove it so slow
you've got all us wandering running around

and you don't see the things that mean something to you
and you don't know the price of the things that you do
you're a child with intention on killing the world with truth

you take your time, while we push against the slow-mo
you take your time, while we push our heads against the phone
we want out of our bubbles now, we know
we know it all now and now we wanna know more
you've got all us wandering and running around
you've got all us drinking and thinking ‘bout
what can we do with all the answers now, we know
you've got all us thinking of breaking out

i brought a face to the names you were crying about
i put the nail in the picture you were hanging up
i bought your ticket to the trains you thought would lead you out
and i crumbled the world within with an answer you didn't want
i'm that child, leading you all astray
i solved all the riddles no man could ever ask
i read all the maps you thought would get you lost
i ran my hands threw the waters you thought would scorch
i put things into your hands you thought were gone
and this is where it all went wrong
