My parents were dealers
All their friends were buyers
It's hard to be truthful
When you're brought up by liars
I thought this was normal
Until I went to school
I saw things were different
Unusual
The teachers could tell
That I wasn't cared for
They grew concerned
Furrowed brows, smiles unsure
But I'd learnt by that age
Not to trust the adults
Their tempers can change
You can't predict the results

So I did the very best I could to convince them I was fine
They contemplated, questioned me, I left them mystified
I taught myself to project outwards a simple state of mind
That's how I came to my first lie

In the time that I met her
She was looking much better
She didn't have the scars that she has now
And she'd sing if he let her
By the time that we dated
She was emaciated
But she still used to laugh out loud
When the coughing abated
I didn't stop to wonder why
She'd buzz like a light
She threw her phone into the sea
We ran into the night
Simple cost of living
A price too high for us
So we kissed-off the living
And we boarded a bus

We watched the country slip away until we got to town
We had nothing but a backpack each so we had a sniff around
Our new life had some old habits scattered all around
So we thought we'd celebrate with some brown

No hope, no fear
We don't know why we're here
No hope, no fear
Let's be anywhere but here
Because we got to be somewhere, we got to be somewhere
Before we disappear
Let's go, let's go
Something tells me it's our year

No hope, no fear
We don't know why we're here
No hope, no fear
Let's be anywhere but here
Because we got to be somewhere, we got to be somewhere
Before we disappear
Let's go, let's go
Something tells me it's our year

New walls, new floor
Old habits evermore
New faces, new places
We've seen them all before
Because we got to be somewhere, we got to be somewhere
Somewhere we can score
Your life, my life
Seems like an open door

New walls, new floor
Old habits evermore
New faces, new places
We've seen them all before
Because we got to be somewhere, we got to be somewhere
Somewhere we can score
Your life, my life
Seems like an open door
