[Intro]
[Verse]
There’s a sadn
ess in the hea
rt now of the
imitation zone
Don’t forget a
bout your brot
hers if you go
at it alone
And I could al
most take a wh
ole life, to d
isclose how I
feel about the
now
Can’t give you
an insightful
conclusion
So if time is
predicated on
abstractions i
n a void
Do not subjuga
te yourself ca
pitulating to
the noise
If I could rea
ch out through
the screen an
d give you som
ething to beli
eve in, I woul
d
But I’m with y
ou in amongst
the confusion
[Chorus]
It’s okay, don
’t fear
Go be part of
the new sincer
e
Do not let you
r heart go
To shit, ensla
ved to ephemer
a
[Post-Chorus]
[Verse]
Our childhood
is memory, sti
ll ascended hi
gh in dreams
And I’m suspen
ding what I he
ld for preconc
eptions of my
being
I only say thi
s to affirm ou
r time is shor
t, but we’ve w
ill to carry o
n
Transcend with
our scars and
confusions
I was furious
and dumb, ligh
ting fires thr
ough the town
I’d play the f
iddle and forg
et whatever I
was pissed abo
ut
I know that mo
st of you rela
tes to some ex
tent, and God,
I know how la
me it sounds
But I’m glad I
became more h
uman
[Chorus]
Stay, don’t go
We’re like hal
fway through t
he halftime sh
ow
Do not let thi
s one end
Before you eme
rge as the win
ner
[Post-Chorus]
[Verse]
Hey, it’s me,
I’m bringing y
ou a case of D
ry
And words un-e
ngendered fuck
this, dumb ci
ty sleeps in t
he night
And I won’t le
ave you hangin
g in the wind
So let me love
with a vengea
nce my sad, sw
eet and unfini
shed friend
And we can go
and mock the s
kyline now
Those bourgie
windows full o
f dickheads we
don’t know a
thing about
You wanna feel
absolved toni
ght
I’ve heard wha
t you’re sayin
g, it’s okay n
ot to be so al
right
[Bridge]
But don’t be a
lone
Did I tell you
that I spent
most of my sis
ter’s wedding
stoned?
Say what you w
ant with blood
and bone
And stick a fi
nger in their
faces when the
y say you’re o
verblown
Say yes to sun
, say yes to p
ain,
say yes to sti
cking with a c
ity through a
thousand days
of rain
Say yes to gra
ce, say no to
spite
Say yes to thi
s, say yes to
you, say yes t
o me, say yes
to love
Say yes to lif
e
Say, say yes t
o life
[Instrumental]
