[00:00.00]	作曲 : Cameron Smith/Karlin Weins
[00:19.71]	Standing on the street on a cold morning
[00:21.93]	Its generic but its where you found glory
[00:24.83]	Waiting for a cab or you could walk
[00:27.01]	Cause its cold and the sunrise wont stop
[00:29.47]	You think looks are a deteriorating commodity
[00:32.12]	And I'm afraid to look at myself
[00:33.84]	Cause it seems self hatred can be narcissism
[00:36.47]	If you're still thinking about yourself
[00:39.15]	I'm good at the qualitative not the quantitative
[00:41.76]	So I'm forced to change with each doubt
[00:43.69]	And its not losing freedom
[00:44.91]	Its losing convenience
[00:46.12]	And I've conveniently counted you out
[00:48.26]	Its clear that sometimes people don't choose evil
[00:50.72]	They mistake power for freedom
[00:53.01]	Your having a party with nothing to celebrate
[00:55.15]	Because you don't even believe in kingdoms
[00:57.35]	Bodega castles and kings storming city streets
[01:00.25]	Suffering long enough to want others to suffer too
[01:02.93]	Jumped the fence behind the cafe on fourth avenue
[01:05.49]	To realise that this evil isn't you
[01:07.54]	Cause people who suffer want other people to suffer
[01:09.68]	And I only people to work within parameters I can thrive in
[01:13.20]	A wolf in sheep's skin
[01:14.61]	Its not a mindset that you can stay alive in
[01:27.25]	If all you do is react to an enemy
[01:29.03]	And do what you think they will hate
[01:31.23]	You're letting them define you
[01:33.55]	Because your soul still cannot break away
[01:36.57]	And you remember telling your mother
[01:38.35]	"If you don't like the road I'm going down you don't have to follow me"
[01:41.16]	She said "to be unique or to be one of a kind,
[01:43.59]	Does not mean you have to be alone in your feelings"
[01:46.06]	Cause real confidence is the willingness to be vulnerable in front of others
[01:49.84]	You provoke me and then when I react you play the victim
[01:52.98]	And then you hide under the covers
[01:54.72]	She said "Mom will always love you but right now I just don't like you"
[01:59.67]	She replied "to knock on the door at any hour because at this house
[02:03.20]	We will always welcome you"
[02:05.88]	They say if you're good at something
[02:07.43]	You don't seem to care about what you're bad at
[02:09.98]	And the hardest losses in life are the ones that you cant take back
[02:14.96]	We can be robbers of each others time
[02:17.50]	And drill our own consciousness
[02:19.44]	They say freedom isn't free but liberty can be
[02:22.40]	If you choose to believe it
[02:24.02]	We get stuck in this mindset where we say
[02:26.23]	"We love you so join us or we'll kill you
[02:28.35]	It's the safest bet you're safe here
[02:30.43]	As long as we lose your identity"
[02:31.98]	Is another lie that were fed but honestly
[02:34.19]	If there's a place where you can be you to the purest form
[02:37.62]	And love yourself as well as everyone around you
[02:40.79]	I hope you find it
[02:43.10]	Cause you deserve peace
