Defiance, Ohio - Chad's Favorite Song Lyrics

Do you remember passion?
It's buried beneath a concrete world
Have you forgotten compassion?
Are you in the middle of an ugly war between yourself and a giant machine?
Are you so tired you can't even dream anymore?

F*ck this city
And f*ck this filthy air
Let's build a-frames in the woods and just live there
We'll all eat berries
And build fires every night
And forget this mistake we call modern life

I believe in something, but I don't know what it is
It's either the future or the end
It's every reason that I do or don't get out of bed

We live in the unhappy shadows of skyscrapers freight trains and malls
To a soundtrack of nuclear warheads and bombs
Addicted to power, addicted to authority, money, and success
So far gone
Without our addictions, do we even know how to live?

The sun is shining through distance, bitter clouds
That make me choke and cough and scream
Sitting here along watching acid raindrops fall
This is not the life I want to lead
