There's a solution to every problem I want us together and I love you And I don't want you to leave because we're here together We're not gonna make it out alive without each other Please don't go Stay
I chased away a prophecy Cause there's a side of me that subscribes to thrive in apathy This blasphemy redeemed the seams inside of me Feeling better for the red letters And the sake of breaking from the fair weather to fulfill my capacity When my love for anything is a mirage of joy with petty jokes and laughing I wanted to be the next prophet But once I got sick I started chasing prophets Performing for an audience and plotting this artifice Of sacrifice and rolling dice to silence a mistress Kissing the lips of a nihilist Every secret I ever had is back on a discount rack For sale to a consumer that doesn't know any better Living in this fair weather Cause I can't love anything that doesn't look like me But doesn't love like you And I learned to love Jesus before I learned to love me And now I can see why I have this fast paced In-your-face approach grace, but no self esteem So I desperately sing One time for the sake of payment One time for the sake of rendering One time for the sake of self-proclamation But saying it's all for ministry Hindering the thinking of the petty weeks I spent writing and fighting the silence The past doesn't change because the future tells it to and I'm telling you I'm selling you the swelling youth in melting skin Within this dim-lit broken fist to finally balance salute
Cause I love you And I fed us all truth, made another excuse Cause it's easier to say I love you too than to point blank say I love you It's nothing but a broken melody and I'm sorry but I'm still listening Cause I was not smart enough to question this But I was foolish enough to try Once we get honest, it's so pretentious But watered down is so cowardice And I'm a little bit of both Just trying to push a boulder over a mountain just to watch it fall Praying to God it doesn't fall again Every thought that ate me alive was published for public consumption Is there anything more pathetic than packaging honesty as entertainment? Existing extremes feeding pain and big dreams Were the epitome of self hate or were the epitome of self praise And none of us know what love means So darling salt the wound so I won't forget That every moment I'm not with you is a moment I'm in regret And I love you now but I won't know you when I'm dead Cause the response to a generation that did too little Was to do too much now we're both sick Cause I saw when you were drowning I was wearing a grin So I'll leave you now before the thick of it Cause darling I can promise you this: I love you, but I'm also sick
And I hope you can see some day this will make sense Like back when I told you I was old I was told I would make some money We'll shove out another hit and call it 'Nicole' And every echo needs a voice and every echo has a choice But I didn't choose you
