The way that you win (is) so important
and they say that you're not right but they just want you to be like them
So they preach and they prey reminiscing all day
maybe just let them play their game maybe just let them sing their songs

Cause to stay in place where you're unwanted is to fight their ignorance assertively
They don't know what it takes to make it and their volcano tongues remain a mystery to me

So when the cracks start appearing and the hummingbirds fly
you haven't done it to yourself and to be surrounded at wealth well
When the pressure emits and the clothing don't fit
underneath it we're the same at least on every dying day
Abm F# EwF# (3x) Abm F# E
But to come so close to all that fluttering only to end broken and abandoned
And I suppose it's every reason why cause we all hope to catch a feather and
Abm F# B7 E (2x)
By the time that you've blinked. By the time that you've noticed.
By the time that you've thought. You're dust. You're buzzing. You're fog.

It's all yours (14x)
