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
