Just The Same

This precaution ties us down

From our ambition to be weightless

Here we're tethered to the ground

While our hearts lead us to fly

And the unity we seek

As we attempt to integrate this

No one sees the implications

We must coalesce or die

And the loss, look at what it cost

Couldn't this fly before the wires got crossed?

Breaking down is just the same

As blank submission

Compromise is just the same as giving up

When we've finally lost ourselves

It breaks me, so shake me

Compromise is just the same as giving up

In defense of things untried

Innovation can seem daunting

Held by walls of fear and pride

While the wicked love to lie

In the failures of the past

There's a hint of something haunting

No one sees the implications

We must coalesce or die

Left inside and we never could tell

This was true

When it breaks you

There's nobody left here but you

You'll never see what's in me

'Til we break ourselves apart

You'll never see what's in me, what's in me

So you took me from the ashes

And your eyes could see right through me

It breaks me, it shakes, me

It breaks me, I've done my time here

So you took me from the ashes, it's another lie

It breaks me, it shakes, me it breaks me,

I've done my time with you

We're not forgiving, not forgetting

I've never been the way that I feel right now

Stand strong and fix bayonets boys

We used to raise our torches to ignite this light

Illuminate this emblem for tonight we fight

When your last ambition dies

Close your windows, shut your eyes

Your light shines shorter than a shooting star

Rise up, lift your voices

We're not giving up.
