lyrics

ACT I
In the summer
They know the words
To the all the hum drum
Songs you’ve never heard
And in the winter
They locked in the silo
And plot their next move
Try to find a way to get away
Gotta harvest your crops
Gotta freeze what you got
Gotta hibernate a lot
Gotta save your energy for when it’s not
Cold outside
It’s gonna get hot
Cuz when it’s cold outside
You know it’s gonna get hot
And it wasn’t me
Who said it was all gone
And it wasn’t me
Who said it was all gone
If you loved someone
Like you loved yourself
Then the truth could be found
In a mirror instead
Then your life becomes
More than you are
And the world that’s numb
To the sound of bombs falling from afar
And the world becomes
A useless door
And the world becomes
A useless sore
And I love you
But you’ve got a lot to learn
And I’m hear to teach you
If you could fight the urge
To break it down
And listen for a while
To make you understand
That I’m only here for a little while
So make the best of what you’ve got
So make the best of what you feel
Make the best of what you’ve got
Make the most of what you feel

ACT II
When it’s loud out here
It’s time to go
When it’s loud out here
Til it’s gone
Through there’s truth be told
All we’ve got
Though theres truth be told
And it’ll all be gone
And this truth be told
And it’ll all be gone
He has all but been your savior
He has all but been yourself
He has all but been your savior
He has no one but yourself
Re-energized by the state of the world
Wanna see it all fall down
Well here’s your chance girl
He who wants it all (is bound to fail)
He who wants it all (is bound to fail)
He who wants it all (is bound to fail)
He who wants it all (is bound to fail)
