Songs Sound Much Sadder - Norma Jean

We’ll be legends

We are smashed men, still moving

We’ve tried everything in the book

No stranger to failure, death with a steady heartbeat

Scratching into any surface it wants

Joy and beauty rejected so many times

A world of hurt, a heart of false hope

And while we thought that we were learning how to live

We have been learning how to die

I should have known, we will be legends

Our hopes and dreams, our worst nightmares

Our worst nightmares have now come true

Tonight when this deep sleep falls on men

Driven by an instinct more powerful than life itself

From horror to hope, from hope and devastation

And while we thought that we were learning how to live

We have been learning how to die

I should have known, we will be legends

Overfed and unconcerned

It came with teeth and claw

Oh, hated form of emotion

You have become so obvious

My friend, the fatal habit of being myself

Ok, there’s hope, step down with all your friends
