// LYRICS //

(Verse 1)
Quarter-inch from the windowsill
Keep the curtains standing still
So they can't see the mess we made
Another silent, sad parade
Got that smile you practice in the mirror
Just to make the picture clearer
For the eyes across the street
Another perfect, fake heartbeat

(Pre-Chorus)
And you tell me just to play along
Like nothin's wrong... like nothin's wrong...

(Chorus)
Oh, we're living for the people we don't even know!
Putting on a perfect, empty, soul-destroying show!
And you wonder why I'm breaking, you wonder why I scream!
Trapped inside your picture-perfect, silent, dying dream!

(Verse 2)
Don't you leave your shoes right there
Smooth your clothes and brush your hair
Gotta look like we've been blessed
Never show them we're a mess
You hear a car slow down outside
And find another place to hide
Inside that calm and quiet lie
While something in your spirit dies

(Pre-Chorus)
And you tell me just to bite my tongue
Pretend I'm young... pretend I'm young...

(Chorus)
Oh, we're living for the people we don't even know!
Putting on a perfect, empty, soul-destroying show!
And you wonder why I'm breaking, you wonder why I scream!
Trapped inside your picture-perfect, silent, dying dream!

(Bridge)
You built this house on what they say
And threw the real us away
And for what?
For their respect?
Look at this wreck.
What did you expect?

(Chorus)
Oh, we're living for the people we don't even know!
Putting on a perfect, empty, soul-destroying show!
And you wonder why I'm breaking, you wonder why I scream!
Trapped inside your picture-perfect, silent, dying dream!
