Are we growing up
Or just going down?
It's just a matter of time
Until we're all found out
Take our tears, put them on ice
I swear I'd burn this city down
To show you the light

We're the therapists
Pumping through your speakers
Delivering just what you need
We're well-read and poised
We're the best boys

We're the chemists
Who've found the formula
To make your heart swell and burst
No matter what they say
Don't believe a word

'Cause I'll keep singing this lie
If you'll keep believing it
I'll keep singing this lie
I'll keep singing this lie

Are we growing up
Or just going down?
It's just a matter of time
Until we're all found out
Take our tears, put them on ice
I swear I'd burn this city down
To show you the light

We're traveled like gypsies
Only with worse luck and far less gold
We're the kids you used to love
But then we grew old

We're the lifers
Here till the bitter end
Condemned from the start
Ashamed of the way
The songs and the words own
(The words own)
The beating of our hearts

'Cause I'll keep singing this lie
I'll keep singing this lie

Are we growing up
Or just going down?
It's just a matter of time
Until we're all found out
Take our tears, put them on ice
I swear I'd burn this city down
To show you the light

There's a drug in the thermostat
To warm the room up
And another around
To help us bend your trust
Got a sunset in my veins
And I need to take a pill
To make this town feel okay

The best part of "believe" is the "lie"
I hope you sing along
And you steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
So give in or just give up (x2)

Are we growing up
Or just going down?

Are we growing up
Or just going down?
It's just a matter of time
Until we're all found out
Take our tears, put them on ice
I swear I'd burn this city down
To show you the light
