about

Not all the noise is important. Not all your assumptions are true. Be careful who you appear to be.

lyrics

Your heart, your mind, the feeling in your gut are what you call you
Can I be vital to you too?
I can beat I can think I can fly or maybe
Fight for survival with you too
Oh no we won't win this alone

It's time for recirculation
The ways the means the blood we give the currency we print to live
Is any of this vital?
Take my breath and take my pulse because we're not gonna make it

Your jobs, your screens, the writing on your wall can all be killed
Cuz they don't define you or your views
I get rich I get drunk I get bold and sign my
Name to the title with no clue
Of how I'm gonna repay this loan

It's time for repatriation
The speech the press the arms we bear the grievances that gasp for air
Now don't call this revival
Take a breath and take my hand because we might just make it
