Lyrics
Here you are
Faced with a text of blood
An honest chip on your shoulder
Won’t make a soldier
Out of anyone
Golden or draped in black
It takes just a splinter in the right frame of mind
To break all obstacles you might find
Can’t you
Feel your true calling
It’s endlessly falling
Driving you here
Despite your repentance
And best intentions
Nothing to fear
You’ll figure it ou-ou-ou-out
Now let’s jump into the mix
It feels tectonic
Can you hear the shift
Are you craving acceptance
Now your inception’s
Finally here
You’ll figure it ou-ou-ou-out
If you learn to loosen your mind
You never know what you might find 'round here
The box looks smaller from the outside
Holes that they made will cave in
A dream of filling boots too big
In time you’ll see
How brave that you need to be
Can’t you
Feel your true calling
It’s endlessly falling
Driving you here
Despite your repentance
And best intentions
Nothing to fear
You’ll figure it ou-ou-ou-out
Now let’s jump into the mix
It feels tectonic
Can you hear the shift
Are you craving acceptance
Now your inception’s
Finally here
You’ll figure it ou-ou-ou-out
Silent sirens airing
Tremors causing cracks in the crown
They will never rest 'til
All that’s left are roots in the ground
Don’t you look so doubtful
All will be alright in the end
If you play your cards right
Keeping your hand close to your chest
Don’t you
Feel yourself crawling
No longer stalling
Destiny’s here
Time to find a new groove
Polish your best moves
And turn up this song
You’re leaving it all out to dry now
Stand out amongst it all
The quicker you get up
The harder they fall
Face the acceptance
Now your inception’s
Finally here
You’re figuring it ou-ou-out
