[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

[Post-Chorus]



[Verse]

n
              
Transcend with

 confusions
             
I was furious 

              
and dumb, ligh

     
ting fires thr

ough the town
             
I’d play the f

tent, and God,

              
 I know how la

     
me it sounds
              
But I’m glad I

[Chorus]
             
Stay, don’t go
