lyrics

GIVE YOUR ALL, WHILE THEY BRAKE YOU, FEELING ALONE
IT’S IN MY EAR, IT’S IN MY HEART
TREAT, TREAT YOU WITH KINDNESS
AND BLEED YOUR LIE, BREAK IT OPEN
IT’S THE DREAMS I SHARE, IT’S IN YOUR EYES OF WEAR

HOLD ME DOWN, LET THE CROWN
SHAKE THE WIND AHEAD, MADE TO FEEL LIKE LEAD

YOU KNOW WON’T, YOU CAN’T BE OPEN
YOU SET THE BAR, TO HIGH TO FOCUS
YOU WENT TO FAR, YOU LET THE MOTIVE
YOU SAID BEFORE, YOU CAN’T BE OPEN

DREAD, NOT FAR AWAY
THE NIGHT IS WHERE WE PLAY
IT’S IN THE WAY YOU SAY, IT’S IN YOUR EYE’S TODAY

HOLD ME TO THE PROFITS
SAY, AND YOU WILL TALK IT
IT’S IN THE ATMOSPHERE, REALLY YOUR HEAD’S NOT CLEAR

HOLD ME DOWN, BUILD YOUR CROWN
BRING YOUR FAVORITE KINGS, HELD UP BY STRINGS

YOU KNOW WON’T, YOU CAN’T BE OPEN
YOU SET THE BAR, TO HIGH TO FOCUS
YOU WENT TO FAR, YOU LET THE MOTIVE
YOU SAID BEFORE, YOU CAN’T BE OPEN

YOU KNOW WON’T, YOU CAN’T BE OPEN
YOU SET THE BAR, TO HIGH TO FOCUS
YOU WENT TO FAR, YOU LET THE MOTIVE
YOU SAID BEFORE, YOU CAN’T BE OPEN

TOO LOW TO GO, TO HIGH TO SHOW, YOU LET ME DOWN, YOU’LL DO IT AGAIN

TO FAR TO KNOW, AND SO SHALLOW, YOU LET ME DROWN, YOU’LL DO IT AGAIN

YOU KNOW WON’T, YOU CAN’T BE OPEN
YOU SET THE BAR, TO HIGH TO FOCUS
YOU WENT TO FAR, YOU LET THE MOTIVE
YOU SAID BEFORE, YOU CAN’T BE OPEN
