Jaded
Last Action Zeros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be careful how you say my name
Step back, refrain
Be honest when you'll save some face
Cause you're fading
Don't mistake me for a fool
The game you play has changed
And the stories you tell
Does the truth weigh on your mind?
Tell me what did it cost
When the moment was lost?
Is this how you survive?
Why, oh why do you have to lie?
What are you afraid of?
We know what you're made of
Now your time has passed you by
You've already made it
There's no need to chase it
So get up, so get up and save it
Cause enough is enough, you're jaded
Golden years left you behind
You cannot replace them
Face it or you'll waste them
You cannot replace them
Face it or you'll waste them
You cannot replace them
The gospel that you preach
Is poisonous beyond belief
But still, you'll reach
Be careful of the truth
My speak is amazing
When it's there in black and white for all to see
We sow and you reap
Take a look at yourself
And the stories you tell
Does the truth weigh on your mind?
Tell me what did it cost
When the moment was lost?
Is this how you survive?
Why, oh why do you have to lie?
What are you afraid of?
We know what you're made of
Now your time has passed you by
You've already made it
There's no need to chase it
So get up, so get up and save it
Cause enough is enough, you're jaded
Golden years left you behind
You cannot replace them
Face it or you'll waste them
You cannot replace them
Face it or you'll waste them
So get up, so get up and save it
Cause enough is enough, you're jaded
Golden years left you behind
You cannot replace them
Face it or you'll waste them
You cannot replace them
