Fake Rebellions
03:24

We've all been waiting here a long time
We've all been standing on stage yelling out with our fists raised high
We've seen the world go further into the deep end
And now it's time to tear down walls and change some minds
I think we're on our way
I think we're moving on
So much for standing by
It's time to take them down
No more fake rebellions
No more waiting for someone to tell us no
We've had it up to here with your fake rebellions
We're here to take it back
You oughta know
You've got to go
You've gotta go
Run through the gas clouds to the next dawn
Speak the names and spark the flame
One Three One Two
Sticks and stones and blood and bones
And all the things we've called our own
Don't mean anything until every last motherfuckers running from the undertow
Tear down the monuments
Rename every fucking town
The system's overwhelmed
It's time to tear it down
No more fake rebellions
No more waiting for someone to tell us no
We've had it up to here with your fake rebellions
We're here to take it back
You oughta know
You've got to go
You've gotta go

And I wait for another time
And I wait for another sign
And I wait for the better life you chose
Cos I'm sick of being stuck in fits
And I'm sick of being fucking sick
And I'm sick of everything but I guess that's how it goes
So I sit and think of what's inside
And I sit and sing all I have to hide
And I sit and wonder what I've yet to learn
Cos I'm not what people think I am
And I'm not anything that I can stand
And I'm not waiting for the end to let it burn
I am standing in my bedroom
Looking in the mirror, at a broken frame
And if we're being honest
I'm afraid of what I'll hear
And I am standing in my bedroom
With nothing left on but my name
I can't lose much more than I already have this year
I watched the shuttle fall and break apart
I was six years old and it broke my heart
Not that I'm older
(Not that I'm older)
Now that I'm older I don't give a fuck about anything
I watched the shuttle fall and break apart
I was six years old and it broke my heart
Not that I'm older
(Not that I'm older)
Now that I'm older I don't give a fuck about anything
I watched the shuttle fall and break apart
I was six years old and it broke my heart
Not that I'm older
(Not that I'm older)
Now that I'm older I don't give a fuck about anything
I watched the shuttle fall and break apart
I was six years old and it broke my heart
Not that I'm older
(Not that I'm older)
Now that I'm older I don't give a fuck about anything
I watched the shuttle fall and break apart
I was six years old and it broke my heart
And the trick is just to keep from breaking now

Page one, line one, focus in on the subject
Pick another new year and call me someone else
My horoscope is a horror show
And it's like I'm living in the undertow
It's been too long for me to tell
So someone call me and tell me I'll be okay
Someday
Pick a number, choose a name
And tell me who I am today
I am burning bright like a distant star
I am flaming out like a voyager
So we can't see the end of the world
If we get that far tonight
The war is never over so long as we fight
The light at the end of the tunnel
Is the rest of the world burning
Just know I love you, friend
I'm still waiting here, still calling a truce
Because I want to feel like I'm making a difference
And not just killing time til the end
So I'm closing off my better days
Saying one last toast to my old ways
And greeting the dawn with another face
Is that a promise or a threat these days
I am burning bright like a distant star
I am flaming out like a voyager
So we can't see the end of the world
If we get that far tonight
The war is never over so long as we fight
All I have is my words
And they won't ever be enough
I can change what I am, take a different name
Try out a new face, take a share of the blame
We're not fighting for our place in line
And if it's not ours then it's time
Burning bright like a distant star
I am flaming out like a voyager
So we can't see the end of the world
If we get that far tonight
The war is never over so long as we fight

Cutting open my palm just to read my future
It says it's getting brighter
But I've got my doubts
That's more than enough to get me through tomorrow
I'm reading signs in the sky to figure it all out
From the bright lights of the city
To the dark streets of the suburbs
I'll swim against the current
And hope this year won't pull me under
Is this really any better
Is this really a way out
There's islands out at sea
Waiting there for me
I'm jumping off the edge
This year won't be the death of me
My heart is a haunted house
All empty doors and scattered furniture
Lining all the halls I used to know
Is that blood on my hands or is it just the future
Ganging up on me and everything I've done
Is this really any better
Is this really a way out
There's islands out at sea
Waiting there for me
I'm jumping off the edge
This year won't be the death of me
(This year won't pull me under
This year won't pull me under
I'll swim against the current
Say your goodbyes)

So I guess this is what it's like for one without the other
Two steps forward, one step back
Can't seem to find another
We're both know the way, we're both the same
We both share the blame for what's happened
So cross our fingers, it's now or it's never
So I cross the line
Cross the void
And hope that I can change your mind
Change your mind
It's not that easy is it
Falling through the earths
Just so that I can change your mind
Change your mind
And so it's through the planes I jump until we all see
If I can work this out then we'll both be happy
And so I try, try and find the time
The place where this doesn't end in the same way
And I'm still lost between the now and the never
So I cross the line
Cross the void
And hope that I can change your mind
Change your mind
It's not that easy is it
Falling through the earths
Just so that I can change your mind
Change your mind
Like ships passing in the night
I'm not sure who I should fight
And it's taking all my strength to just
Keep this going on
From point to point I turn
With every universe I burn
I'm getting one step close to the edge
Of knowing what I wanted all along
So I cross the line
Cross the void
And hope that I can change your mind
Change your mind
It's not that easy is it
Falling through the earths
Just so that I can change your mind
Change your mind
Change your mind
It's not that easy is it
Falling through yourself
Just so that I can change your mind
Change your mind

Give Me A Moment

Give me a moment
Can we table this for now
Before we let go of all we know
I need a second to figure out
If I'm not the person that I want to be
Then what am I doing now
Just a minute, just a moment
Just a chance to think about
All the ways we use each other
And the secrets that we hide
And the final thoughts that keep me sitting wide awake at night
Give me a moment
Just one more moment
Then let it die

I guess I'm tired of this running, this running around
Back to where I've been coming from, feet on the ground
It's not like it's living, sticking to safety nets
Still so unforgiving, maybe tomorrow I'll get....
And I am so tired
I can barely hear you coming in
Tonight
Tonight
So we spin in our circles and turn back again
Looking for a purpose and a way to fit in
Must've lost all our memories and left them behind
In the blink of a moment and a last sunrise
And I am so tired
I can barely hear you coming in
These lights are so bright
I can barely see you; are we all right
Tonight
Tonight
And I am so tired
I can barely hear you coming in
These lights are so bright
I can barely see you; are we all right
And I am so tired
I can barely hear you coming in
And I am so tired
I guess I'm just tired of this running, this running around

I've been at war for weeks I guess
It's getting close to years
I've been drowning in the fears
Of all the methods that have served me oh so well
It's not a choice I've made
It's just a game I've played
I'm tired of this half-life
This half light
In half time
So it's high time
I start trying
And stop wasting time
I'm not waiting anymore
I'm not signaling your ship to come to shore
I'm just looking for the mirror
That shows me who I want to be tomorrow
And I'm not waiting anymore
I won't be lighting up the beacons on the shore
I'm taking my time
And taking back all the shipwrecks I left behind me
One more time for the big prize
I'm shaking in these sheets
Trying to stay on the beat
And falling back into the answer that I need
It's just behind the eyes
Like I've been waiting my whole life to fly
I'm not waiting anymore
I'm not signaling your ship to come to shore
I'm just looking for the mirror
That shows me who I want to be tomorrow
And I'm not waiting anymore
I won't be lighting up the beacons on the shore
I'm taking my time
And taking back all the shipwrecks I left behind me
Got caught up in a moment
Got stuck inside a dream
I finally found the answer
I finally changed my scene
There's a knocking at the window
And my own eyes stared back at me
She said: you are the water, I am the ocean
Take my hand and learn to breathe
I'm not waiting anymore
I'm not signaling your ship to come to shore
I'm just looking at the skyline and wondering
Why I've never seen that star before
And I'm not waiting anymore
I won't be lighting up the beacons on the shore
I'm taking my time
And looking out at all the waves stretched out before me

Almost Human
03:59
|
|||
I've been waiting so long
For the truth to hit me
I've been carrying on
Like there's nothing left in me
I've been sitting along
With the answer right in front of me
I'm not my biggest fan
Is it obvious
But I'm sure I'd give me a hand
For being so damn gracious
It's not too late
To be someone great
So this is what it's like
To be in the background smiling
At all the moments that died
When everyone keeps piling on
I guess it's all the same
Pronouns are just words anyway
Is this the place where I get to say
I'm myself now
So try, try to push it all by
Try, try, don't plan out your whole life
There's other things to think about
Than what others think you think about
So try, try again
And start to begin
We're all just almost human
We're all just almost human
We're all flying too close to the sun
So take me as I am
Take anything you want from me
I'm moving up and moving on
And I won't let anyone try to stop me
I'm the girl I want to be
As the same as I was 23
And I'm try, trying
So try, try to push it all by
Try, try, don't plan out your whole life
There's other things to think about
Than what others think you think about
So try, try again
And start to begin

There Will Be Light
04:59

And this is where it begins
The final curtain raised again
And all the anthems we caved in are
Echoed back in perfect tens and so it's
One last wave goodbye
One last time in the bright lights
So sing it back again
All the words we put to pen
And melodies that weave in through you
Until you have the strength to hold to
It's there inside if you just looking into the dark
That's where we are
Let there be light
To guide you home
In the darkest night
Because you're not alone
The world may fall apart around you
But you can find your way to get through
Lift your lanterns high
There will be light
I'll climb the ladder again
To the same places that I've been
Scratch the windows to get the sun
Hoping I get out before it's done
And I am still figuring out my song
Wondering where I went so wrong
But I guess that's the curse of time
The slow decay of every night
To the last breath we will fight
Let there be light
To guide you home
In the darkest night
Because you're not alone
The world may fall apart around you
But you can find your way to get through
Lift your lanterns high
There will be light

I'm lost in the forest all alone
No compass or map and no way home
The stars are blacked out, an empty sky
This is the best day of my life
Stealing my words from empty streets
Miles and miles left under my feet
Come open up my chest again
Pull out the answer, change my name
Crack open your ribcage, be a ghost
Call every single person that you know
Is this just another memory
Or is this not for you
It's just for me
