lyrics

As we waited for an aftershock the first strike kept growing strong
Now painted on your window there's a Spielberg flick gone wrong
Every time you change the channel there's new cause to be afraid
While the smile's pretty convincing, bloodshot eyes give you away

Is it crushing you?
It's crushing me too
Like the sky keeps finding new ways to fall
Don't feel bad if you start cracking
It's cracking us all

No dealer at the table, still we're losing to the house
You can blame it on a stacked deck, but you know that's copping out
Swimming 'round your pocket there's a black sea filled with doubt
It takes all the strength you have to keep from drowning on your couch

Is it crushing you?
It's crushing me too
Like the sky keeps finding new ways to fall
Don't feel bad if you start cracking
It's cracking us all

Don't get caught looking at the past now
You're never gonna change what's dead and gone
We'd all like to play the hero
Today it's enough to just hang on

Is it crushing you?
It's crushing me too
Like the sky keeps finding new ways to fall
Don't start cracking
Don't start cracking
