Lyrics

Intro
They took it away, and it's been dry around here for so long.
And I've been waiting for someone else to hear you cry, but they're all gone, so far gone.
And now there's no place to play because you smash everything that's in your way. Don't get in your way.
They say the dove is gone, white feathers, floating to the ground, don't fly away, fly away.

Verse
Cause I can't seem to find my station, when my only motivation, is the gold that I got buried in the floor.
And you can't tell if you're getting sicker, till that gold all turns into liquor, and the peace that you had with yourself turns to war.

Chorus
And the easy way out ain't easy anymore. And the easy way out ain't easy anymore.

You know, sometimes you just want to shout it, you can't go on when you gotta live without it.
And you swear that you choked on the exact same taste before. And you don't know if you're in or are you out. Cause you're drinking from an empty spout. Well, it's time to get on your knees and change the score.

Cause I can't seem to find my station, when my only motivation is the gold that I got buried in the floor. And you don't know that you're getting sicker, till that gold all turns to liquor and the peace that you had in your house turns to war.

Chorus
And the easy way out ain't easy anymore. And the easy way out ain't easy anymore.

You know, sometimes you just want to shout it, you can't go on when you got a live without it. And you swear that she choked on the exact same taste before. And you don't know if you're out. Cause you're drinking from an empty spout. Well, it's time to get on your knees and beg for more.

Chorus
And the easy way out ain't easy anymore. And the easy way out ain't easy anymore.
And the easy way out ain't easy anymore.
