listen, do you hear it?
do you fear it?
almost atmospheric tension?
by convention, a reflection
of your self-deceptive vision
imprecision, unfamiliar
toe the line until your
weaknesses expose you
decompose you

and I know you were promised
more than you deserve
the thoughts that keep you honest
you’d fight them if you
could only find the nerve

tangled in your own world
obligated, overcomplicated
lifestyle of the new rich
like a deathwish
shut your mouth, lie down and
stay down like they tell you
what they sell you
let it overwhelm you
tell us where we lost you
what it cost you

and I know you remember
a bright and perfect day
but nothing lasts forever
so close your eyes, try
to wish it all away

and say goodbye to the sun
a little rain never hurt no one
and you know I’m not the only one
who can save you
but who will save you from yourself?

the world is never perfect
too informal
it’s the brand new normal
control is illusion
your seclusion
from the things you fear
will haunt you
you belong to
what you’re drawn to
try to look beyond your reason
no restraining
stop complaining

and I know that you wanted
things to stay the same
I know that you’re haunted
terrified of the world outside
but I think it’s time you tried
to give some ground away
such a small surrender
so take my hand
and come with me
and I’ll show you something

so say goodbye to the sun
a little rain never hurt no one
and you know I’m not the only one
who can save you
but who will save you from your—
say goodbye to the sun
a little change never hurt no one
and you know I’m not the only one
who can save you
but who will save you from yourself?
don’t put your faith in no one else
who will save you from yourself?
