Waking up in Tattered Sneakers (lyrics)

I hear screaming in the street
Blood and tears mix and flow around down by my feet
As I float in the apathy that I was taught
Complacency is my currency and all I’ve got
Is not enough to buy a ticket out of here
My greatest fear

I’m alive and you’re dying by my side
And I’m crying and don’t know why
But I’m starting to feel something real here
And it hurts more than anything
How it hurts more than anything
Now it hurts more than anything that I've
Ever felt before...

There’s a gun in the hand of the man we all said was the one
Who would bring peace for us and everyone under this slowly falling sun
I feel I’ve done my part
Giving just enough to look good but not enough to reach the heart
Of the matter
What’s the matter...with me?

I’m alive and you’re dying by my side
And I’m crying and don’t know why
But I’m starting to feel something real here
And it hurts more than anything
How it hurts more than anything
Now it hurts more than anything that I've
Ever felt before...

Awakening to something that looks like you
But feels like me
More than anything, now I’m suffering
More and more the more I see
You
Hurting like you do
Even when my eyes are closed
You need more than just my money or my clothes
What you need is what I need
What can I do, who can I be
But here for you under the same blood red sky...

I’m alive and you’re dying by my side
And I’m crying and don’t know why
But I’m starting to feel something real here
And it hurts more than anything
How it hurts more than anything
Now it hurts more than anything
Oh, it hurts like we're both living it
