Drones

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Deep inside these burning buildings Voices die to be heard Years we spent teaching a lesson We ourselves had never learned And if strength is born from heartbreak Then mountains I could move And if walls could speak I'd pray That they would tell me what to do [Chorus] If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by Forget my name and I'll forget it too (Simple lives) Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives Are what keep me coming back to you [Verse 2] No signs of life here, save the embers, the occasional flame We'd know the way but can't remember, conception to the grave Shout confessions from the greatest heights, where no one can hear All my fears, my insecurities are falling like tears [Chorus] If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by Forget my name and I'll forget it too (Simple lives) Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives Are what keep me coming back to you [Bridge] The drones all slave away, they're working overtime They serve a faceless queen, they never question why Disciples of a god, that neither lives nor breathes (I won't come back!) But we have bills to pay, yeah, we have mouths to feed! (I won't come back!) I won't come back! [Chorus] If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by Forget my name and I'll forget it too (Simple lives) Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives Are what keep me coming back to you [Outro] I'm coming back to you
