Brilliant
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.
Count it down from 10 to 1, faster than a firefly
Callin' out to everyone: Are you dead or alive?
Quicker than the curious, and brighter than a meteor
Never knowing who to trust can make me insecure
Let me clear my throat, let me catch my breath
Let my heart bleed out till there's nothing left
It's my day to be brilliant
It's my day to be brilliant
Count it down from 10 to 1, faster than a hurricane
Callin' out to everyone: Are you mad or insane?
Quicker when you're curious, and better once you realize
Finding someone you can trust gets results, check your pulse
Let me clear my throat, let me catch my breath
Let my heart bleed out till there's nothing left
It's my day to be brilliant
It's my day to be brilliant
Say it if you're one of us, the beaten and the furious
Injustice and lies, for the very last time
It's all the same (believe it or not), but this ain't a game (and I'll never stop)
So you better run for your life
Let me clear my throat, let me catch my breath
Let my heart bleed out till there's nothing left
It's my day to be brilliant
It's my day to be brilliant
To whom it may concern
I won't crash and burn
Burn, burn
I won't crash and
Let me clear my throat, let me catch my breath
Let my heart bleed out till there's nothing left
It's my day to be brilliant
It's my day to be brilliant
As the world collides and I fight for air
As I crash and burn like I just don't care
It's my day to be brilliant
It's my day to be brilliant
Count it down from 10 to 1, quicker when your curious
Say it if you're one of us, the beaten and the furious
Are you mad or insane, mad or insane
Are you mad or insane, you better run for your life
It's my day to be brilliant
It's my day to be brilliant
