Lyrics
It’s not in the words you say
But things never to be said
Just because you had a thought
What gives you the right to think
You say you’ll put up a fight
When have you ever fought
You say you’re not afraid
Why then act out of fear
Look to others for relief
An emptiness you can’t relieve
What would you do if it happened to you
What would you say if they took it all away
What would you feel if this was for real
Living your life vicariously
We don’t want to hear you speak
Nothing kind from you gets spoken
It’s clear we don’t share your belief
Though you find it hard to believe
Watched others around you die
Flee from thought of your own death
You say you’re mad with grief
Do you even know how to grieve
Just because you’re alive
Doesn’t mean you have a life
What would you do if it happened to you
What would you say if they took it all away
What would you feel if this was for real
Living your life vicariously
You’re living your life vicariously
Can’t see through the lie and • you deny
You’re living your life vicariously
Can’t see through the lie and • you deny
You’re living your life vicariously
What would you do if it happened to you
What would you say if they took it all away
What would you feel if this was for real
Living your life vicariously
Vicariously, vicariously
