Watch It Crash

Watch It Crash - Streetlight Manifesto

Last night I woke alone with a whisper

In my ear whisper in my ear

Recanting all my aspirations and my fears

And when the sun came up that voice had disappeared

But it would linger on for years

It said we can't just blame it on our mothers

Claim everything they did was always wrong

And there ain't not turning back

When our train is off it's track

And there's nothing we can do but

Watch it crash watch it crash

And there ain't no right and wrong

When we know it won't be long

And there's nothing we can do

But watch it crash

So mercy mercy mercy me

Praying for the death of a man I'll never meet

Though everyone will know the truth they'll still just make believe

Mercy mercy me

We can't just blame it on our mothers

Claim everything they did was always wrong

And there ain't not turning back

When our train is off it's track

And there's nothing we can do

But watch it crash watch it crash

And there ain't no right and wrong

When we know it won't be long

And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash

So mercy mercy mercy me

Praying for the death of a man

I'll never meet

Though everyone will know the truth they'll still just make believe

Mercy mercy me

That's all they came for that's all they took

That's all we had to offer only dirty looks

And when they realized we'd given

All we could

That's when they finally understood

Mercy mercy mercy me

Haunted by the memories of things

We'll never see

Guilty for the statements that

We'll never get to speak

Mercy mercy me

We can't quite blame it on our mothers

Claim everything they did was always wrong

And there ain't not turning back

When our train is off it's track

And there's nothing we can do but

Watch it crash watch it crash

And there ain't no right and wrong

When we know it won't be long

And there's nothing we can do but

Watch it crash

Watch it crash and there's nothing

We can do but watch it crash
