lyrics

Let’s come together through the dawn
And sing about the ones who’ve come and gone.
Hope is gone.
We’ll bring about a world that’s new
And paint it all now, something brighter blue.
White and blue.

If I could only bring myself around
Maybe I’ll find an answer can be found.
Gone to a place now where the blackbirds sing.
And suddenly, I’ll fall asleep when you cut the string.

Save yourself from endless nights forgotten and alone.
Light it up with fireflies. The lies are now exposed.

Lie down upon this cold hard ground
Let’s swim against the tides and don’t you drown.
Don’t you drown.
This beast will chase me through the briar.
I’ll throw the evidence into the fire.
In the fire.

Look at all the possibilities.
If I can just sit still and try to breathe.
I’m beginning to asphyxiate.
I can’t breathe.
Here’s a lesson in incompetence.
Get to experience this consciousness.
Something’s pressing down on top of me.
I can’t breathe.

If I could only bring myself around
Maybe I’ll find an answer can be found.
Gone to a place now where the blackbirds sing.
And suddenly, I’ll fall asleep when you cut the string.

Save yourself from endless nights forgotten and alone.
Light it up with fireflies. The lies are now exposed.

If I could only bring myself around
Maybe I’ll find an answer can be found.
Gone to a place now where the blackbirds sing.
And suddenly, I’ll fall asleep when you cut the string.

Save yourself from endless nights forgotten and alone.
Light it up with fireflies. The lies are now exposed.
