This is a call to arms For the poets that are inside of us This is shedding our skin and breaking the chains that are binding us
This is pictures of the truth This is life in real time All the words we always wanted But could never make 'em rhyme
This is the way that she looked This is what I believe This is the way that it's been and it always will be
This is the war that was raging inside of me When I told you all that I was fine You taught me never underestimate the power of ten thousand hearts that are beating in time
This is for everyone that's still holding on to all the things they fucked up and all the people they did wrong
All the songs they never sang Our story's still the same
We've been holding it in so long x3
So Hallelujah, Amen Holy whatever, Bless your soul Because these are the words that set up the verses that let us free ourselves through rock and roll
And this is music, this is spirit This is passion if you'll let yourself hear it Cause there's mercy in the verse A story in the chorus A bridge to get us over the sea of doubt before us
It's all mapped perfectly in music to save us Spinning the soundtrack to our beautiful chaos Imperfect existence, grab it and own it And I swear to God we'll have it all in that moment
So take every picture of your perfect life You can splatter it with color and the paint will dry
You can throw it in the air and you can watch it fly Just for one last time squeeze it very very tight And let it go
