If we don't kill ourselves we'll be the leaders of a messed-up generation
If we don't kill ourselves will they believe us if we tell them the reasons why
Do we take it too far, take it too far
Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland
There's a hundred grand, will they understand
It was all to stay awake for the longest

My sean always afterwards
Lost tubes, half the class of us
You might not see the last of us
Stick around, jetlag, get lost a plus
Not half mile, always on fly, keep the sun to let you know what we're coming
And we're nasty men
Don't need sleeping beauty
It's what you did to me
Come midnight and daybreak
Yes please go find me a name sake
We got firm faith, don't need bibles
Take the Michael, hit my recycle while I hold the title
Quite riddle, we get high on the office

It was all to stay awake for the longest time
It was long, it was wrong
But it felt so right
See you at the finish line
I see you at the finish line
If you got the heart to join us

If we don't kill ourselves we'll be the leaders of a messed-up generation
If we don't kill ourselves will they believe us if we tell them the reasons why
Do we take it too far, take it too far

Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland
There's a hundred grand, will they understand
It was all to stay awake for the longest

My sean always afterwards
Lost tubes, half the class of us
You might not see the last of us
Stick around, jetlag, get lost a plus
Not half mile, always on fly, keep the sun to let you know what we're coming
And we're nasty men
Don't need sleeping beauty
It's what you did to me
Come midnight and daybreak
Yes please go find me a name sake
We got firm faith, don't need bibles
Take the michael, hit my recycle while I hold the title
Quite riddle, we get high on the office

We just grow, if it's late
Then we'll show, read and wait
We just grow, if you hate
We don't show, we don't wait
We just grow, if it's late
Then we'll show, read and wait
We just grow

If we don't kill ourselves we'll be the leaders of a messed-up generation
If we don't kill ourselves will they believe us if we tell them the reasons why
Do we take it too far, take it too far
Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland
There's a hundred grand, will they understand
It was all to stay awake for the longest
