about

We often survive far beyond our means to live well.

lyrics

We made it to the shelter fast
locked the door and felt the blast
Repeat -- this is not a test
Millions died but we survived
safe and sound, buried alive
Stay calm until help arrives
Radioactive rubble piled
on every man, woman and child
Rescue teams may take awhile
We'll never leave, they'll never know
We're stuck sixty feet below
Good night and god bless your souls

There's food and water, but we can't go outside
and all our friends and family have died

Months have passed and felt like years
dying of boredom, drowning in tears
You have nothing to fear
My kids are going bald too soon
now go downstairs and clean your tomb
Rescue teams are there for you
Ways to leave, there's only one
through the barrel of this gun
Survival chance is next to none
The time has come, the choice is clear
Kids, we're getting out of here
Close your eyes and say a prayer
Just relax and we'll be there

There's food and water, but we can't go outside
and all our friends and family have died
Still got my children, still got my wife
but everything's fucked, we're stuck in this half life

There's food and water, but we can't go outside
and all our friends and family have died
So I shot my children, I shot my wife
I'm not going to stay to decay in this half life
