[Verse 1]
Amicable acrobats high above the aftermath
Graceful when we talk trash, so no one knows we want it back
We live like Christmas on credit cards
It's always Christmas where you are
[Verse 2]
Look alive, don't hurt yourself, touch your body
Realize your surroundings
Count five things in the room
Cause no one is dying soon
[Bridge]
Are you not worried, are you not worried
Cause we don't have to lie like them, we're all already lost
[Outro]
Do whatever you want and I'll roll over
Do whatever you want
