Song Lyrics

Wires - The Neiborhood

“Wires”

 

We talked about making it.

I’m sorry that you never made it.

And it pains me just to hear you have to say it.

You knew that game and you played it, it kills to know that you have been defeated,

I see the wires pulling while you’re breathing.

You knew you had a reason,

It killed you like diseases,

I can hear it in your voice while you’re speaking… you can’t be treated.

Mr. know it all had his reign and his fall,

At least that is what his brain is telling all

 

If he said help me kill the president,

I’d say he needs medicine

Sick of screaming let us in,

The wires got the best of him.

All that he invested in ,goes

Straight to hell,

Straight to hell. (ooo,oooo)

Straight to hell,

Straight to hell. (ooo,oooo)

 

He told me I should take it in,

Listen to every word he’s speaking,

The wires getting older and I can hear the way they’re cracking,

As they’re holding him,

Well, I could see it in his jaw,

That all he ever wanted was a job,

He tells me to be, raw,

Admits to every little flaw,

That never let him sit upon the top,

Won’t tell me to stop,

Thinks that I should be a little cautious.

Well, I can tell the wires pulled

 

If he said help me kill the president,

I’d say he needs medicine

Sick of screaming let us in,

The wires got the best of him.

All that he invests in, goes

Straight to hell,

Straight to hell. (ooo,ooo)

Straight to hell,

Straight to hell. (ooo,ooo)

 

I’m having trouble in believing,

And I just started seeing,

Light at the beginning of the tunnel, but he tells me I’m just dreaming,

When he walks I hear his ghosts, every word they say to me,

I just pray the wires aren’t coming (here to strangle me)

 

If he said help me kill the president,

I’d say he needs medicine,

Sick of screaming let us in,

The wires got the best of him.

All that he invests in, goes

Straight to hell,

Straight to hell. (ooo,ooo)

Straight to hell,

Straight to hell. (ooo,ooo)

 

Straight to hell,

Straight to hell. (ooo,ooo)

Straight to hell,

Straight to hell. (ooo,ooo)

(ooo,ooo) (*2)
