Artist: project 86
Song: something we can't be
Album: And the Rest Will Follow
Year: 2005
Dictate, what you think is pivotal
Mandate, just for the sake of
Ego, controlling your decision making
The world we're missing is still ours for the taking
Accelerate into isolation
Gravitate to comfort, presentation
Anxiety laden, restless confusion
No courage, no confidence, absent delusion
Most of us would be lying, holding fast to denying
If we said, "We're all feeling swell and content"
All of us would be slipping backpedaling, gripping
So tight to our fragile confidence
We're trying just to convince the world
We're something that we can't be
We are not afraid of being alone
Of being caught by ourselves with only our own thoughts
We're trying just to convince the world
We're something that we can't be
We are not afraid of being alone
Of being caught by ourselves with only our own thoughts
Activate with hope and integrity
Honesty, the only true currency
Devastate, the guilt, not the guilty
And I promise a better night's sleep
Most of us would be lying, holding fast to denying
If we said, "We're all feeling swell and content"
All of us would be slipping backpedaling, gripping
So tight to our fragile confidence
We're trying just to convince the world
We're something that we can't be
We are not afraid of being alone
Of being caught by ourselves with only our own thoughts
We're trying just to convince the world
We're something that we can't be
We are not afraid of being alone
Of being caught by ourselves with only our own thoughts
We're trying just to convince the world
We're something that we can't be
We are not afraid of being alone
Of being caught by ourselves with only our own thoughts
We're trying just to convince the world
We're something that we can't be
We are not afraid of being alone
Of being caught by ourselves with only our own thoughts
All of us would be slipping backpedaling, gripping
So tight to our fragile confidence
