Circa Survive

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'd been too angry to show?
The sovereign statement's wrong
It's a bylaw 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 up of a mandolin hurts your fingers
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
Even if it reminds the sounds you always used to make
