Let’s take a step back
Never knowing what the left hand’s doing
Or the right hand’s singing
And my history is not for sale
Our history is not for sale
I can withstand the attacks
But nothing’s cool and nothing matters
As nostalgia sets its goals
We just keep getting older, we keep getting older
Straighten up, and fly right
I keep the faith, just to get by
And keep going over and over
It’s just one more thing we’ve broken
It’s just one more thing we’re owed
And I’m afraid
That like a stone I’m skipping
On the surface of the waves
Until this ocean swallows me
And I’m afraid
That with every step I’m tripping
Across the point of my return
To the ending of everything
Let’s take another step back
This isn’t how I wanted this story to go on
And I could just go on, if that’s okay
Is that okay
I’m tired of buying in
And selling out
And dragging out
And calling out
And finding out that
Nothing is ever how it should be
So I straighten up, and fly right
Keep my mouth shut just to get by
And end getting nowhere I want to go
Setting fire to what we used to know
Setting fire to what we used to know
It’s not about what we used to know
This history is a joke
And I’m afraid
That like a stone I’m skipping
On the surface of the waves
Until this ocean swallows me
And I’m afraid
That with every step I’m tripping
Across the point of my return
To the ending of everything
I was trying I change the world
Now I want something to change for me
Okay I guess we’re even
I guess we know the score
Walking on the bottom of the ocean
How further til I find the floor
I’m still trying to save the world
But no one’s listening anymore
And I’m afraid
That like a stone I’m skipping
On the surface of the waves
Until this ocean swallows me
And I’m afraid
That with every step I’m tripping
Across the point of my return
To the ending of everything
