lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's faux leather in the backseat
Triple malt is in the air
And the glass that can't be shattered
Makes you question what is fair
And nobody stops to think
Just what this number twelve can do
But the only thing that's on your mind
Is what they'll do to you

[Chorus]
And it was just one, but it wasn't yours
Can't they just adjust the scores
To show you've learned from your mistakes?
But knowledge here is second-rate
Mind's a mess and your heart is torn
Everyone knows that this is the norm
But it's time to face the music
'Cause they can prove it, you're through

[Verse 2]
As the tears begin to vacate your eyes
You see guys who dealt pounds and more lies
Than you ever had the intention to
But to the cuffs, it's nothing new
Phone call just like a T.V. show
Put on a face 'cause no one can know
You're scared inside, scared to lie
And once you decide, you'll be scared to die
It feels like the world is caving in
From the bars to the light that's growing dim
And as the walls collapse
You want to relapse, want to bring back
The ecstasy, the euphoria
Of being young again

[Chorus]
But it was just one, and it wasn't yours
Can't they just adjust the scores
To show you've learned from your mistakes?
But knowledge here is second-rate
Mind's a mess and your heart is torn
Everyone knows that this is the norm
But it's time for you to prove that
You can do it, go ahead and just
Let it all out, scream and you shout
'Cause once they turn the key, there's no doubt
The brightest flame is all but gone out
The dancing flame is flickering down
Let it all out, sing 'til you shout
'Cause once they turn the key, there's no doubt
The brightest flame is flickering down
The darkest flame is out

[Outro]
But there's faux leather in the backseat
The take-out's in the air
And the voices that are speaking make you
Question what is fair
And nobody stops to think
Just what this number twelve can do
But the only thing that's on your mind
Is what they did to you
