The Holiday Has Been Cancelled

Well grade school never meant that much to me
I started smoking at the age of 13
Back of the class thats where we'd hang around
But they could not bring us down
And now they're on the run
Little Johnny's mad and hes got a gun
Just kids having fun
You cant deny
No alibi
I saw you back when you were just like them
I know its true

Chorus:
And we all fall down together
Ashes to ashes as we burn this fucker down
On the merry go round the kids are learning
Yeah there's something wrong at the playground.

Well high school was just a holding cell for me
With no freedom as we learn democracy
Spent most of my days in the back lot
A cherry burning bright but a future that's not
And now we're on the run
Try not to think a lot and just keep on having fun
No responsibility
You cant deny
No alibi
You were just like them I saw you back then
I know its true

(chorus)

Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish i understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S.O.S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S.O.S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

You seem so far away though you are standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died I fear
I really tried to make it up
I wish I understood
What happened to our love, it used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S.O.S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S.O.S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

When you think that you know someone
They claim to be your friend
A blackened wick is all that remains
When the verdict has been sent

With no legs left to stand on
No truth to call your own
Like a tired soldier slowly dying
The gun that fired the shot was your own

Now i see you lying in the bed you chose to make
Backstabber
How's it feel now to live the life
I've always known was fake

Trying harder just to realize
What the hell was going on
I saw you in the shadows
Don't you know I'm strong?

I've got my own intuitions
I've got my own beliefs
And when you try to toy with nature
You'll be falling with the leaves

And now it's all beginning
Sail the ship you chose to build
You wont see me crying
Washed my hands clean
And now I see you lying in the bed you chose to make
Backstabber
How's it feel now to live the life
That I've always known was fake
