Marching across our own screens Our faces form all our needs The future's not returning All bridges built for burning How can there be anything wrong? Aren't we the frozen ones? One day I'll just erase the tape, wave goodbye, and fade away Get lost in the frost again Clean the ashes of my face at the bottom of your suitcase Find a sunset, turn away How can there by anything wrong? Aren't we the frozen ones? The frozen ones The frozen ones We walk around inside each other visiting the empty rooms Put me on, I'll put you on too You knew I'd have to follow you because you saw I'm hollow too But it's so nice being I too How can there by anything wrong? Aren't we the frozen ones? The frozen ones The frozen ones Chorus: We're nowhere We don't care who led us here No-one will care when we're gone The frozen ones The frozen ones Too many pictures on my screen and all of them are screaming at me Thought I had this insulation The only way to stop the flood whenever feelings get too real Is to cut the information How can there be anything wrong? Aren't we the frozen ones? The frozen ones The frozen ones (Chorus) The frozen ones (Repeat and fade)
