Standby |
| Standby, we all live on standby |
| We all hold out torches waiting for flame |
| I call it like I see it, I see a scared kid |
| Following their every word, now just to feel like the dirt under his nails is |
| worth the pain |
| Let me explain |
| You see the joke is that no matter how much you bleed |
| For what you’re trying to say |
| There’s always someone, somewhere |
| Living out the life you’ve always worked for |
| Who never will appreciate the claim |
| Standby, we all live on standby |
| We all hold out torches waiting for flame |
| Reach for anything that holds you |
| Keeps you standing up and knows you by name |
| I failed to mention all their terms, their dotted lines, their iron nerves |
| But who are we to state our case |
| It’s all a matter of life and death by irrelevance |
| You see the joke is that no matter how much you bleed |
| For what you’re trying to say |
| There’s always someone, somewhere |
| Living out the life you’ve always worked for |
| Who never will appreciate the claim |
| Standby, we all live on standby |
| We all hold out torches waiting for flame |
| Reach for anything that holds you |
| Keeps you standing up and knows you by name |
| I digress, I know it’s what you want |
| To be perceived as an idol, a walking tribute to all those lost |
| Capture feelings in vignettes and shout them from rooftops |
| They will smile as you struggle, and lose you in their thoughts |
| Standby, we all live on standby |
| We all hold out torches waiting for flame |
| Reach for anything that holds you |
| Keeps you standing up and knows you by name |
| Standby, we all live on standby |
| We all hold out torches waiting for flame |
| Reach for anything that holds you |
| Keeps you standing up and knows you by name |
