You hold it in your hands
And let it flow, this cruelty
Of youth as you fall again
Alone in the compromise of truth

It's in the eyes
I can tell, you will always be danger
We had it tonight, why do you leave it open?

And the stakes remain too high
For this silent mind
And the shake, the lonely itch
That courses down my spine
To leave a love divine
Don't leave a love divine
It's a water tight excuse

It's in the eyes
I can tell, you will always be danger
We had it tonight, why do you always seek absolution?
It's in the eyes
I can tell you will always be danger

How does the earth around your feet
Just slip away?
And abandon that greets you in the night
With snake eyes, the most precious kind

Keep away, son, truth’s calling 
Stand at bay, child, truth’s calling 
Do approach, Miss, truth’s calling 
Look close, dad, truth’s calling 

Drop the toys, son, war’s coming 
Don’t wander off, child, war’s coming 
Hold your breath, Miss, war’s coming 
Lucky you, dad, war’s coming
It’s coming

There’s nothing we can do – don’t worry, dance for tomorrow, dance for tomorrow 
Hope is slipping through, which doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try nonetheless, play nonetheless 
Let's just not pretend we’re sorry – dance for tomorrow, dance for tomorrow
Death is not the end, they say, so we’re to be nonetheless, there nonetheless
Afraid as we may be – don’t worry, dance for tomorrow, dance for tomorrow 
It’s gonna be ok as long as we just care nonetheless, share nonetheless 
To those who make it through – don’t worry, dance for tomorrow, dance for tomorrow
It’s you who’ll start anew, which doesn’t mean you couldn’t fail nonetheless

Baby please, it's the way you speak
Forming words so easily
And I think of the way you think
It keeps me from falling asleep
In that grave I call a bed
'Til you called me up and said

"I haven't stopped crying
My father's been drinking
I need a place to stay
I don't want to be here
He's saying the words that
He promised he would never say
That liquid he consumes
Makes him speak the truth"

And I said no, it's not that at all
It's that bottle of lies for a troubled heart
It's standing on the edge of a mountain top
Screaming anything he wants
Like, "Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me
Because I exist, I exist, I exist, I exist, I exist, I exist"

I remember the way you shook
It's a shame that we're not soul mates
'Cause if I didn't know better, I'd say this feels pretty good
And how could I be scared?
When I stretch and feel you're there

So shut your mouth
'Cause these words will speak themselves
I can feel them in these blankets
And they're surrounding your figure, embraced in the quilts
And I can't help but think
You're my missing puzzle piece

I wake up in the hallway, I'm looking for sunlight
With rays that will cure me of the pain that keeps my lungs tight
Ignoring the voices and feelings that tell me
To get out of this house
I can't make them stop
I'm just like my mom

And you said no
These demons will fall
You're so precious to us all
And I said I
I can't do this alone
I still need you to hold
So don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go, don't let go
Because I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid

Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?

Take on me (take on me),
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'm me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me,
"It's no better to be safe than sorry."

Oh, things that you say, yeah—
Is it life or just to play my worries away?
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take yours and I'll take mine
On the right hand side
And I'll rest and you'll find that you take rest in wine
So take these words and make them right
So one day you and I will write our names in the sky
We'll confide

And I'll find mine on the right of Your side
And I'll find mine on the right of Your side
If I throw away my fear and pride to set things right
Then I'll find mine on the right of Your side

Brothers and sisters
Fill these cups with life
Please forgive them
'cos they know not their lies
So take these words and make them right
So one day you and I will write our names in the sky
We'll confide
