Lyrics

[Intro]
[strummed acoustic guitar with melodic hammer-ons]
[Verse 1]
[male vocals, mid-range]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Lord me
They locked the doors
Shut all the windows
There wasn't no candy to be found
No, no
[Verse 2]
Thought they would die
Now I know different
They were just trying to get along
[Chorus]
[vocal intensity increases, high-register belt]
Get all the energy now
All the energy now
Saw the old way it fell to the ground
Perished
Saw the old way
[Bridge]
[acoustic guitar lead fill]
Hey
Oh, oh, oh
Couple months passed
Saw through the glass
There wasn't much in there at all
[Verse 3]
Wish that millions
Help them
They never came
[Outro]
[sustained high vocal note]
Ah
Ah
I saw the way it fell to the ground
Didn't say nothing, just fell there and laid
Just like I started to give out
And ended
[acoustic guitar fades out on a final chord]
