lyrics
WE ARE MORE (Dylan Roth)
I read somewhere that we're selfish
'cuz we like to take pictures and say how we feel.
While they chase after money and lie cheat and steal
we'll be telling each other we're beautiful.
The balls on these hypocrites
who killed their great grandkids before they were born.
Will they still call us "snowflakes" when all the real snowflakes are gone?
'Cuz we're young and we're told
that the years are gonna tame us.
We'll grow colder by the day,
and we'll tell ourselves we're blameless.
But we're not who came before.
Oh, God, I just have to believe it,
that we're more. We are more.
We are more.
And I remember being in love,
the kind of hope that makes your dreams last.
EVER AGAIN by Jay Ackley
‘Cause we’re young and we’re broke and our lives are all jokes
And there’s nobody trying to save us
And we’ve seen better days, but we’re stuck in our ways
‘cause we’ve convinced ourselves that it’s painless
And I’ve been told that I’ll grow old,
but somehow I still don’t believe it
We’ve been up we’ve been down, we’ve been lost we’ve been found
but we’ve managed somehow to break even
And I remember growing up slow,
when the teachers still taught us things we didn’t know
And I remember growing up fast
Those days of our youth somehow slipped to the past
I remember the sex, I remember the drugs
I remember being made to feel shame.
I remember that night when she kissed me goodbye
I remember not feeling the same
Ever again
and all the nights that we danced and we sang
and we dreamt of the future and laughed about fame
Well it’s strange now to think, with our lives on the brink
that we’ll never feel that way again
