[Verse 1]
Divided we stand, united we fall
Here we are, once again, with our backs against the wall
We made mistakes and we can never take them back
But we'll try to get by on lies in black and white

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's coming back around again

[Chorus]
I gave up today so you could have a tomorrow
I'll follow you into, follow you into the flames
I gave up my life so the states wouldn't be hollow
I followed you into, followed you into the grave

[Verse 2]
Close your eyes, and remember, the ones you wished away
This telegram, with no sender, a return that has been delayed

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's coming back around again

[Chorus]
I gave up today so you could have a tomorrow
I'll follow you into, follow you into the flames
I gave up my life so the states wouldn't be hollow
I followed you into, followed you into the grave
[Post-Chorus]
Into the grave

[Bridge]
With pounding hearts and darting eyes
I'm losing friends and losing sight
Ignore the heat, defend the lies
Living still on borrowed time
Saving lies is not a crime
Saving lies is not a crime
It's not a crime

[Ad-Libs]
Get me out of here, take me away
I followed you here, into this grave

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's coming back around again

[Chorus]
I gave up today so you could have a tomorrow
I'll follow you into, follow you into the flame!
I gave up today so you could have a tomorrow
I'll follow you into, follow you into the flame!
I gave up my life so the states wouldn't be hollow
I followed you into, followed you into the grave
