(what am I? what am I?) from what we know we’ve got pictures in the back of our heads so what are we even seeing? from what we know our two blues are two different things and what you’re feeling is that the fear I’ve been fearing? who am I to decide? for all we know we don’t know what am I? Am I all in my head? I gotta go until I figure it out or I’ll die from what we know all gets harder the darker you are and you don't believe it what are we but to heal it who am I realized? for all we know we don’t know what am I? Am I all in my head? I gotta go until I figure it out or I’ll die trying trying trying i'll die

chasing your tail and I’m holding it it’s overrated being heroic we need to renegotiate and you know it holy hell! If you don’t get a hold of it you're in a lot of trouble you've got the nerve to think it would be alright counting your aces you can’t hold them down no one’s saving no one and not knowing how don't disassociate you won’t know you’ve drowned I swear to God! if you don’t get a hold of you now Hold of you, hold of you now you're in a lot of trouble you’ve got the nerve to think it would be alright to come over here now you're in a lot of trouble i'm running out of words you’ve gotta fight your devil you’ve gotta fight your devil you’ve gotta fight your devil you’ve gotta fight your devil you’ve gotta fight your devil you're in a lot of trouble i'm running out of words you've gotta fight your devil

you raise your head to tell me what i've done all wrong and everything that’s bad about the way i talk to you what i wouldn’t give for a photograph i raise my voice to tell you how i feel but i guess i wasn’t what you needed and i’m starting to think i’m someone else what i wouldn’t give for a photograph who knows and who cares you know there isn’t one way to live you raise your head to tell me what you’ve done all wrong and how all the thoughts you had are now gone and they’re hard to get to i raise my voice to say you’re not alone i guess it died before it reached you when i thought you looked like someone else what i wouldn’t give for a photograph who knows and who cares you know there isn’t one way to live there isn't one there isn't there isn't one who knows and who cares you know there isn’t one way to live

waded through black hearts and i followed around a circled mess no one could tell me i was wrong i knew i had you and you were all i walked over stones and lost my shoes but not the trail of you barefoot over burning forest floors together riding out of the storm even when the birds and worms are crying i’m fine i cannot help myself i must give you my heart the best i give i know i’m blushing but this rock is hitting me in the head and even when we’re old and skin and bones i will be smiling at you if i become a ghost living in your shoes i’ll walk across the ceiling i’ll walk across the ceiling i’ll walk across the ceiling even when we’re old and skin and bones if i become a ghost i'll walk across the ceiling with you even when the lonely world is fighting i’m fine waded through black followed you out and now i have you

secret war 03:18
hear me talking in my sleep never want to leave hear me screaming out the door what are we fighting for well you can be right or you can be safe you can be a righteous fake but you are alive you are alive you’re even ok dare i say balanced dare i say feeling up in arms with how you live just tell me i’m something just tell me i’m focused to fall in line to set a table to find the light you were able you were able it’s a secret war a secret war it’s secret war who okayed this? it’s a secret war a secret war it’s a secret war who okayed this? who okayed this? who okayed this?

found him alive with a gun by his side it had been the whole time and nobody noticed and i'm sure he was fine when they read him his rights followed up with his wife and nobody noticed it i am the one i am the one i am the one i am the one so what now? oh now what? can’t turn it down when it all becomes sound and you’re not above ground so i'll go unnoticed and i know what it’s about are you in or you out tell me what are you now now that nobody notices it i am the one i am the one i am the one i am the one so what now? oh now what? so what now? oh now what?

go look in the mirror it won't look like you you're seeing clearer than you are used to don't pick up the phone you've got a right not to start listening hard to yourself you've got to (get used to it) you've got to hold it all together now you know you're not the only one to get it now when you speak and speak your truth (what do you notice?) lean into the weirdness you came to do it while working through it you will find a new lens they'll call you odd and we know we're unusual start listening hard to yourself you've got to (like you used to) you've got to hold it all together now you know you're not the only one to get it now allow your view to change (what do you notice?) to get away with it to get away with it you've got to focus to get away with it you've got to fo- you’ve got to focus you’ve got to fo- you’ve got to focus you got to fo- you got to (oh hey yeah) oh - we’ve got to hold on to each other more than we know 'cause we’re the only ones to get it now we learn (we learn) to learn

you are in a desolate hour and following ground rejected, abandoned at every gate just trying to find a place for your feet to take care of your own and to feel some kind of humanness where did ours go? where did ours go? and here we are in our holy white towers that look down at you crossing an ocean on a fucking three dollar toy and you wonder why it makes any sense why they can’t cross this line this invisible line where did ours go? some kind of humanness (go) where did ours go?
