Slip or fade or step away from the crowd
Had enough of grind and trials for now
Wanna fight pound for pound
The sound of the angels pierce the sky
(You'll never hear it if you don't listen now)
Trumpet the warning of selfish life
(Well, I can hear you so you don't have to shout)
I'm dragging my feet cause I want to fly
It's not gonna matter cause I'm afraid of heights
The only moments I've ever felt were mine
Are the ones that I would give up before I'd try
Let's finalize the sentimental ties
Then sterilize the things you've memorized
You fake it
I know it
You didn't have to show it
You hate it
I've noticed
Surprised how well you hold it
I hate it
They know it
I'm not afraid to show it
I'd make it
Then blow it
I've tried to tell you
I'm gonna waste some time
(Oh, I'm stuck on principle)
To find out if it is really mine
(Otherwise invincible)
If you uncover your face you'll find
(Blow my wish on fireflies)
I'm holding back to show
I'm really trying
Good try
Bad time
It's not about who's allowed or who's declined
The wall is in place to find who wants inside
You didn't realize that you have to speak up
Did you expect to get another shot?
It's not a given
Are you giving enough
To keep them all honest?
It just feels good
But that doesn't make it right
Understanding
In the middle of the night
Just because the truth is clear
Doesn't mean it will apply
What's convenient will be sure to rule out any advice
I'm back before you knew I was coming
The tension could be cut with a knife
You'd flinch if you weren't protected by others
Alas, I'm forced to carry my promise
Grasp the rod with my other hand
Risk it all for the promise
And hope it all works out

It's the same old story you try to tell us
It doesn't matter the ending fails us
It's the same old story of better times
I doubt they were, but you fantasize
The same old story (It just feels good)
The same old story (But it doesn't make it right)
It's the same old story (It just feels good)
But it can't be what you want anyway
