Lyrics
Everybody's broken here I'm touched Telling their secrets to me Sweet talkers But I can't let them go Oh, if it were so simple Would they fuss? They'd tell me everything But I don't care that much

Cause when your last breath Fades you out Oh, there'll be no words left For anyone to shout

Sweet talker, sweet talker

Everybody's here against their will Oh, I'm dragging They're screaming at me again I'll be alright just need a little more time Watching these bad, bad people Playing the good guys

Cause when your whole world Comes crashing down I promise you, I'll be good to you Somehow

Cause when the good guys Can't save you Go run and hide Go run and hide

Trivia

 * This song was first released as a kind of preview to the full album.
 * Sanchez said this song was written from a hostage's perspective, probably in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and having felt like a hostage himself, even more so due to his wife's immunocompromised diagnosis.
 * In that vein, the song features his wife and son opening a gift on Christmas morning. Reportedly, it turned out to be a Bizarro figure.
