borders that we say are policing you back to their arms

tension to take pills that'll make you feel higher inside

do you often look back on us feeling confidently

would it make any difference if I wasn't late



or I've been to angry to show 

the sovereign statements wrong

it's a bilaw and a valiant one 

to honor hopeful thoughts

it's the talent, not the promo-shots



Story has shown

you all felt alone

Story has shown

you all felt alone



even if

if the sound it makes when it's tightening

sweet winding of

of a mandolin

hurts your fingers and

and you try to hold on but it's not quite working

this reminds me of the sound you make when we disagree



Story has shown

you all felt alone

Story has shown

you all felt alone



even if you've been so close you're not alone anymore

still we grow

still we grow

it reminds me of the sound you always used to make



Story has shown

you all felt alone

Story has shown

you all felt alone



even if you've been so close you're not alone anymore

still we grow

still we grow
