The New Age - Placebo (Official Audio)

[Verse 1] Forget about the light, forget the days We bleed, we laugh, we burn, we die, we take We couldn't hope for a better reaction from a thief Who burns a hole through his mattress Every time he falls asleep Yeah every time I, fall asleep Yeah every time I, fall asleep [Chorus] Breathe it in He hopes he'll never feel it again Breathe it in Placebo, Placebo (Placebo, placebo) [Post-Chorus] When his eyes show all of his shame He's got a game to play He's got a game to play Like a liar up on a stage He's got a game to play Just to make him feel okay [Verse 2] I've never been in a knife fight But I was raised in the ghetto I stayed sheltered from the night life But my brother said hello Can you teach me to be a man? My dad he just doesn't know how to Sitting alone in a room with the doors barred Hoping that the kids don't see what are now scars Thanks, darkness you taught him so much But you couldn't make him heartless Taught him so much But you couldn't take away the shame Living every day the same pain in his brain Yeah it's just the way it is You can take life or conquer it Even when everything is shit You can cave in or bury it You might also like Holes in the Walls The New Age (Band) To Be Alive The New Age (Band) This Life The New Age (Band) [Pre-Chorus] Can't make us heartless Can't make us heartless You can take anything from us You can take everything from us Can't make us heartless Can't make us heartless You can take anything from us You can take everything [Chorus] Breathe it in He hopes he'll never feel it again Breathe it in Placebo, Placebo
