Lyrics

[00:07.73] Who's bad? Said the the kiddy in the Jacko hat
[00:10.53] To the kiddy in the Rooney shirt
[00:11.97] Dragging back
[00:12.53] The curtains in the room in her daddy's flat
[00:14.18] A young girl heard the truth in an alley-cat
[00:16.10] Howling on the roof next door
[00:17.60] Imagine that
[00:18.44] All your idols were just like you
[00:19.85] Nothing's beyond you
[00:21.34] Do what you want to do if you feel that it wants you to
[00:23.77] Look
[00:24.79] True never meant nothing more than it means right now
[00:26.61] When everything's fake
[00:27.74] But you in your deepest reaches keeping secrets
[00:30.90] Know what it takes to make a meaning means something
[00:34.10] I鈥檓 moving through a space that some can't see
[00:36.57] I know this space exists
[00:38.73] So do you if your heart beats the oldest groove
[00:41.98] Life is huge but we have shrunk it
[00:43.96] We've made it small
[00:44.93] We used to walk tall
[00:46.87] But who cares, right?
[00:47.89] We鈥檙e having a ball
[00:48.81] Them things you don't show, I can see
[00:51.37] Them things you don't say, speak to me
[00:53.37] Them things you hide ain't hiding
[00:55.18] No firm ground but we ain't sliding
[00:57.32] Them things that haunt you, let them be
[00:59.46] That thing you weep for, leave it
[01:01.64] All life is forwards, you will see
[01:03.44] It needs you to need it
[01:05.62] Go ahead, keep it in 鈥榯il it withers you
[01:07.62] Move fast, don鈥檛 stop, you got things to do
[01:09.54] Tell yourself, it鈥檚 them man it isn鈥檛 you
[01:11.59] Nod your head and believe that until it鈥檚 true
[01:13.75] You can tell it not to show its face
[01:15.33] When you are trying to hold your space
[01:17.43] But it鈥檚 in you deep in your sinews
[01:19.85] And it comes out on the coldest days
[01:21.56] See the kid with the memory he can鈥檛 shake
[01:24.08] See the man with the lover on his mind
[01:25.84] See the lady with the guilt and the heartache
[01:27.98] See the woman trying to battle with time
[01:29.97] See the man with the blood on his hands
[01:31.82] See the girl with her hands on her hips
[01:34.27] Everybody say nothing. Stay bland
[01:36.24] If you don鈥檛 show it then it don鈥檛 exist
[01:38.15] Right?
[01:39.15] Them things you don't show, I can see
[01:41.23] Them things you don't say, speak to me
[01:42.80] Them things you hide ain't hiding
[01:44.45] No firm ground but we ain't sliding
[01:46.39] Them things that haunt you, let them be
[01:48.83] That thing you weep for, leave it
[01:50.70] All life is forwards, you will see
[01:52.75] It's yours when you鈥檙e ready to receive it
[01:54.74] You鈥檙e so focused on finding the differences
[01:56.82] You ignore the bonds that bind us
[01:59.19] Got my hand on my heart when the rhythm hits
[02:01.03] It鈥檚 looking for us but can鈥檛 find us
[02:03.00] In the valley of vanity, viciousness
[02:05.05] Full schedules and empty containers
[02:07.00] We鈥檙e kissing the coshes that cripple us
[02:09.01] Enjoying the Beigeness
[02:11.04] Do it your way and they鈥檒l find you ridiculous
[02:13.10] Pick apart your behavior
[02:14.87] Their scorn ignites what inhibits us
[02:17.47] And then we hate ourselves
[02:19.74] And our fear pickles us
[02:21.08] Sitting in jars 鈥榗ause it鈥檚 safer
[02:23.21] Some of us are happy to live with it
[02:24.91] But some of us know it鈥檚 against our nature
[02:27.52] Them things you don't show, I can see
[02:29.94] Them things you don't say, speak to me
[02:31.22] Them things you hide ain't hiding
[02:33.71] No firm ground but we ain't sliding
[02:36.02] Them things that haunt you, let them be
[02:38.50] That thing you weep for, leave it
[02:40.13] All life is forwards, you will see
[02:42.31] It's yours when you鈥檙e ready to receive it
[02:44.06] All life is forwards you will see
[02:46.31] All life is forwards you will see
[02:48.11] All life is forwards you will see
[02:50.22] All life is forwards you will see
[02:52.21] All life is forwards you will see
[02:54.31] All life is forwards you will see
[02:56.46] All life is forwards you will see
[02:58.57] All life is forwards you will see
[03:00.58] All life is forwards you will see
[03:02.64] All life is forwards you will see
[03:04.74] All life is forwards you will see
[03:06.49] All life is forwards you will see
