We stuffed our face with simple things Treating cheap press pills like they weren't anything But a slight distraction A passing car, a faint reflection In this threadbare shirt Left by a friend With those broken songs I'll never understand As you shake and I sway, I could of sworn I heard you say I wrote this down on an aeroplane It's the only thing that's keeping me Keeping me at arms length Keeping you away It's lies and bullshit, it's not safe I couldn't shake this feeling Of the rust and the dirt and the engine screaming It's every stark reminder Of the life I gave away For goodness sake I'm a young man We were all young then And we felt the strain We were never given tools to deal with this much pain We stuffed our face We sealed our fate We stuffed our face (with simple things) We sealed our fate (it wasn't anything) I wrote this down on an aeroplane It's the only thing that's keeping me I wrote this down so far away I feel the world and the earth's forsaken me Keeping me at arm's length
