A Captive Audience

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Judah] I'm gonna make it go away, like it never happened Like the author ran out of ink, before you got to me It doesn't matter, you have your answer My breath upon your hand My breath upon your hand [Verse 2: Judah] 'Cause we're never far from another life But I never wanted to make you spend the night With your loneliest thoughts Will you come around this time? Will I be left here? Ooh, love [Break: Judah, Judah & Josh] When so proudly we fail and the optimists sing "Yеah, we'll be that far," when wе'll be that far behind It's the drug distraction They'll scream when I kick [Hook: Judah, Josh & Logan] But for every moment that I get too close To the faceless void from which I stumbled It's only because my heart swells over ("Yeah, we'll be that far") But I misinterpret it, I dwell on my failures Yeah, I had parents who taught me to love ("Yeah, we'll be that far") Yeah, love was something they never knew (Yeah, we'll be that far behind) They never cared about you anyway A hope vicarious, a captive audience [Hook: Judah, Josh & Logan] 'Cause even the people that you call your friends ("Yeah, we'll be that far") Can fuck you over in the subtlest ways (Yeah, we'll be that far behind) It'll be your comfort that you're always alone They never cared about you anyway ("Yeah, we'll be that far") They never cared, they never care so much [Outro: Judah, Josh & Logan, All] As when you've lost your way (They never) Fire and brimstone where they lay me (They never) Heaven, help us for a way to get out of here Get out of here Get out, oh, ooh
