{extended version}

••we're so happy even when we're smiling out of fear • we're never done with killing time • we crave a different kind of buzz • it feels so scary, gettin' old • nothing's wrong when nothing's true • not very pretty but we sure know how to run things • you can try and take us, but we're the gladiators • i'm little but i'm coming for the title held by everyone who's up • but we've got our methods and there's nothing here to stop, to stop this • you're my best friend and we're dancing in this world alone • and you're no better at swimming than you were in the beginning but you come over at night and we practice all the breathing • i'll find my own bravado • there's nothing more cruel than only nine lives • there's something about hangin' out with the wicked kids • breathe so deep i thought i'd drown • if being afraid is a crime we hang side by side at the swingin' party down the line••
