Rubbing of stains, keeps the rats away, anxiety stays
Darkened houses in a perfect row, stuck on repeat
Desperately hunting another high, always end up low
Force a reaction by public disgrace
The do and the don'ts and the promises, it's all in your head

A thousand zombies got me by the throat
While mum is busy writing suicide notes
Strangers forever, until death do us part
There's no escape from suburban breakdown

Learn to stay down, stand in line again, give em what they want
All these kids acting dead on abandoned streets, give em what they need

Behind brick walls we're all falling apart once again Learn to stay down, stand in line again
Here comes another scar in the promised land

A thousand zombies got me by the throat
While mum is busy writing suicide notes
Strangers forever, until death do us part
There's no escape from suburban breakdown Suburban Breakdown

Rubbing off stains keeps the rats away
The anxiety stays
Another day on repeat
