The New Age - Placebo (Explicit)

Forget about the light, forget the daysWe bleed we laugh we burn we die we takeWe couldn't hope for a better reaction from a thiefWho burns a whole through his mattressEvery time he falls asleepYea every time I fall asleepBreathe it inHe hopes he'll never feel it againBreathe it inPlaceboWhen his eyes show all of his shameHe's got a game to playLike a liar up on a stageHe's got a game to playJust to make him feel okayI've never been in a knife fightBut I was raised in the ghettoI stayed sheltered from the night lifeBut my brother said helloCan you teach me to be a manMy dad he just doesn't know how toSitting alone in a room with the doors barredHoping that the kids don't see what are now scarsThanks darkness you taught him so muchBut you couldn't make him heartlessTaught him so muchBut you couldn't take away the shameLiving everyday the same pain in his brainYea it's just the way it isYou can take life or conquer itEven when everything is shitYou can cave in or bury itCan't make us heartlessYou can take anything from usYou can take everything from usCan't make us heartlessYou can take anything from usYou can take everythingBreathe it inHe hopes he'll never feel it againBreathe it inPlacebo
