Maeko - Trojan Horses Lyrics

Verse 1
When we walked into the past tense through the gymnasium
We were drunk, eyes red
Made the bleachers our bed
We were sixteen again
When we walked into the shopping mall, it was 2010
We were high like kites in the dead of the night
Just waiting for the feature film

Chorus
We couldn't bleed then
Walk around like we're bulletproof
We couldn't bleed then
Walk around like we're bulletproof
We couldn't bleed then
Walk around like we're bulletproof
We couldn't bleed then
Walk around like we're bulletproof

Verse 2
Suburban corpses riding trojan horses
Aquafina bottles that could hold the darkest potions
Young love and hard drugs until the party's over
The sun's up with hot tubs still overflowing
Dream catchers, Nike sweatsuits
Bumper stickers with Selectman in Helvetica
White America, picket fever dreams
Spill my 40 ounce to spell out what you mean to me
Peep the scenery, it's always darkest 'fore it's bright out
We packed inside the candy apple Jeep before our night out
And laughed like Jackals and Hyenas, it won't happen to me
Cause death was just a concept on a screen inside the movie

Pre-Chorus
I want to see your face
Why won't you say your name
These back streets that we paved
Will never be the same
And I want to figure out
What's different then and now
If only we could see
What wasn't meant to be

Chorus
We couldn't bleed then
Walk around like we're bulletproof
We couldn't bleed then
Walk around like we're bulletproof
We couldn't bleed then
Walk around like we're bulletproof
We couldn't bleed then
Walk around like we're bulletproof
