Lyrics:

Don’t keep your secrets
Mother knows
There’s a rebel on the run
Lean only forward
Everything’s stone cold

Some days it’s a bust
Some days it’s a Hallmark card
Some day’s it’s a holiday

Be careful of terrains
Of the rains and the cracks
Bring a coat
Ask if everybody knows

My heart is so abrasive
But my house is full of praises
Even though I’m always changing
I’m getting older by starting over

But I call to put the lights out
That is why I keep my eyes shut
Even though everything’s breaking
Disintegrating, and ever changing

It’s ok, we really tried it
Unless you want to cry, don’t be late
Unless you want to hide
Unless you want to hide your feelings, I won’t hate
Everyday I wonder why, I wonder how things pass us by
If destiny’s a child, and loving you’s a crime then I won’t mind

The truth is they fight me, they love me
Haunt me and push me away
Dynasties rise and fall
But I promise to learn from mistakes I’ve made
Yes, they’re ugly, my body
Bodies are aching and tired
Gone are the trees
They are not as tall as they have been
They must have given up

Given up
Given up
Given up

Given up
Given up
Given up
Given up

Given up
Given up
Given up
Given up

My heart is so abrasive
But my house is full of praises
Even though everything’s breaking
I’m getting older by starting over
