[ Featuring the Verse ]
Tried to warn you
I didn't wanna let the world take me there
Pull me under
Love and hate
In despair
Unforgiven, underwritten
We walk the old paths, limping
The new ones snake-bitten
Fear for the future, face a sentence
I didn't rest
Had a bunch of night sweats
Kept my eyes open
Too many words were never spoken
And we listless
Erasing items off the wish list
And ain't done none of 'em
Didn't even take a run at 'em
Wondering how
Did we get caught in the crowd
In the hive
Lose our minds
Let others control our time
It's a heavy burden
Pitting this rural versus urban
When you're living in the neighboring subs
We tried to warn you
These ghosts can harm you
But if you're crazy like us
You can dance right through them
We tried to warn you
We tried to warn you
I didn't want to let the world take me there
Flip my meaning
Turn me off
Turn me on
Turn me in
Keep me sleeping
Some made they bed off cheating
Claiming they good people
But we got set back
With every kickback
That they receiving
I measured slack before I cut 'em off
Rigged up a new span
For others to come across
Wanted to catch people falling
Despite the heavy cost
Because a lot of folks lost
There is a rhythm to the system
In these manic conditions
Researching gain-of-function
Sacrificing our wisdom
We tried to warn you
That these ghosts can harm you
But if you're crazy like us
You can dance right through them
We tried to warn you
Yeah we tried to warn you
Yeah we tried to warn you
We tried to warn you
But no one's listening
But we tried to warn you
