Eventually
eventually everything loses its touch
eventually everyone gets rid of their lust
and when you can no longer pretend
that everything eventually comes to an end
it'll all come down in a bad way
no one not even you can stop fate
so why bother why even try
because all of us will eventually die
im not stupid
im not going to believe their lies
im not naive
and im not going to give in this time
trouble all of us will eventually meet
i guess you think a fool i must be
but the truth is so full of heat
the odds i guess no one can beat
im not stupid
im not going to believe their lies
im not naive
and im not going to give in this time
and this pain fills me
wishing i could escape this destiny
but whats meant to happen will
i wonder how does that make you feel
the truth makes you so pail
slowly we're losing to this hell
in this life we're all going to fail
and we can't escape this jail
baby listen to me yell
im not stupid
im not going to believe their lies
im not naive
and im not going to give in this time
eventually you will give up
eventually your words will be left in the dust
eventually you will lose your shameful lust
while everything has already lost its touch
