Smokestacks
Rolling Dice and Broken Hearts: Smokestacks by 7 Years Bad Luck
Lyrics
Better pack your bags and run
Better leave quickly and escape
Repeating offenses you hide with a smile
Repeated wrongdoings you conceal with a smile
Things I wish you hadn't done
Actions I regret you've taken
Look around this is the last bit of peace for a while
Look around, this is the final moment of tranquility for some time
Because the world don't owe you anything
The world doesn't have obligations towards you
I'm not waiting here for the person that you have become
I won't wait for the person you've transformed into
And the world don't owe you anything
The world doesn't have obligations towards you
But you keep on rolling the dice
Despite this, you continue to take chances
And you keep on smiling
And you keep pretending everything is fine
As we fall away one by one
While we drift apart, losing each other one by one
Rise and shine, broken hearts and dirty smokestacks
Embrace the morning with shattered emotions and polluted environments
Walking circles round this place
Circling around this place without progression
You'll be fine, always knew you don't belong here
You'll be alright, always knew you didn't fit in here
Turn the lights off just in case
Turn off the lights just in case
I hope you'll be gone without a trace
I hope you'll disappear without a trace
Because the world don't owe you anything
The world doesn't have obligations towards you
I'm not waiting here for the person that you have become
I won't wait for the person you've transformed into
And the world don't owe you anything
The world doesn't have obligations towards you
But you keep on rolling the dice
Despite this, you continue to take chances
And you keep on smiling
And you keep pretending everything is fine
As we fall away one by one
While we drift apart, losing each other one by one
Oh yeah, this is long overdue
This has been overdue for a while
I'll cross my fingers for your breakdown
I hope for your emotional collapse
I tried to run the numbers for you
I attempted to figure it out for you
But you keep on rolling the dice
But you keep taking chances
And you keep on smiling as we fall
And you keep pretending everything is fine as we drift apart
Because the world don't owe you anything
The world doesn't have obligations towards you
I'm not waiting here for the person that you have become
I won't wait for the person you've transformed into
And the world don't owe you anything
The world doesn't have obligations towards you
But you keep on rolling the dice
Despite this, you continue to take chances
And you keep on smiling
And you keep pretending everything is fine
