Half-Truism

One is for envy and one just for spite

The cuts in my heart, they show in your eyes

Don't make it better, the twisting knife turns all by itself on to someone else

Your self-liberation will leave this behind (oh, oh-oh-oh)

Beyond slings and arrows that rain on our minds (oh, oh-oh-oh)

You'll make it better, shake it off, it never mattered anyway (oh, oh)

If we don't make it alive

Well, it's a hell of a good day to die

All our light that shines strong

Only lasts for so long

And it's ashes to ashes again

Should we even try to pretend?

All our light that shines strong

Only lasts for so long

The banner you're waving is burning and red

It's blocking the sunlight that shines overhead

You against the world, diamonds and pearls voices inside you churn, watch the city burn

Your own liberation will leave them behind (oh, oh-oh-oh)

All the slings and arrows that rain on your mind (oh, oh-oh-oh)

Don't make it better, break it 'cause it never mattered anyway (oh, oh)

If we don't make it alive

Well, it's a hell of a good day to die

All our light that shines strong

Only lasts for so long

And it's ashes to ashes again

Should we even try to pretend?

All our light that shines strong

Only lasts for so long

I

Won't

Calm

Down

The banner you're waving (the banner you're weaving)

Is burning and red (is burning and red)

You against the world, diamonds and pearls, it never mattered, mattered, mattered, anyway

If we don't make it alive

Well, it's a hell of a good day to die

All our light that shines strong

Only lasts for so long

And it's ashes to ashes again

Should we even try to pretend?

All our light that shines strong

Only lasts for so long

All our light that shines strong

Only lasts for so long
