Lyrics
I Will Never Settle
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is not the song
I wanted to write for you
This is not the way
I wanted to make you feel
The truth is so unkind
I can't stop the way that it sounds in your mind
It's loud and it's distorted
The longer you avoid it
Too much to settle
So I hide in my golden cage
Silence is starving
Humble pie on a paper plate
Going in circles
And my pride is the piece I hold
I will never settle
'Cause to settle would crush our souls
Too much to settle
Silence is starving
I will never settle
I will never settle
Going in circles
Silence is starving
I will never settle
I will never settle
Caught a glimpse of a normal life
Terrified by the sight
We belong to another time
Dropping vanishing names we knew
But if they don't care about it
Do you still care about it?
Too much to settle
Silence is starving
I will never settle
I will never settle
(Too much to settle)
So I hide in my golden cage
(Silence is starving)
Humble pie on a paper plate
(Going in circles)
And my pride is the piece I hold
(I will never settle)
'Cause to settle would crush our souls
To settle would crush our souls
We will never settle, it would crush our souls
