Our bones turn to stone
And our smiles all look the same
What a safe place to be
Look at me in a big bad dream

I have only me to blame
How the hell did it get this way?
And the story starts the same
We're just teachers in a learning game

So tell me it's okay to hurt like it hasn't been said
I've been quietly dancing around with the words in my head
It's a waste of time in this waiting line
But I guess that's fine

What a long way to go
They say it's the science that keeps us down
And there's no place to go
I gotta do a little running to get back home

So tell me it's okay to hurt like it hasn't been said
I've been quietly dancing around with the words in my head
It's a waste of time in this waiting line
But I guess that's fine
