There's just a blank space left on the page where you used to write

That nothing comes easy yea

I told you we'd never make it out alive

Or at least without marks to prove

 

We're all fighting just to stay alive

But no ones really winning

And your honorary medal has arrived

Just in time to spell it out that

 

We've been left for dead

I don't believe that

This is how it will end

But the water is rising

 

Panic is now rearing its own ugly head and

Fear has become every man for himself

 

If you saw it through my eyes you'd be walking off the job and

Turning in everything you used to be

How can I really care anymore cuz

Maybe I cared too much you see

 

It's all been washed away

And broken down to pieces

There's nothing left in words

That could fix this the truth is that

 

We've been left for dead

I don't believe that

This is how it will end

But the water is rising

 

Panic is now rearing its own ugly head and

Fear has become every man for himself

 

Well so what? So this is how is has to be?

Keep telling the world that nothing is broken

Everything's under control

 

We've been left for dead

I don't believe that

This is how it will end

But the water is rising

 

 

We've been left for dead

I don't believe that

I don't believe that

I don't believe that

 

New Orleans is underwater now
