am i asleep or is this me
so unsteady is the ground below
the strangest thing about this dream
is that no one seems to know
we’ve all been pickin our sides
though we know nobody wins
we take a head full of lies and wear a face of surprise
as they’re sellin out our souls again
if the first instance calls out the name
then the second one must come out to play
and if it started above, then it started with love
and we wouldn’t want it any other way
we are not gonna fold under
we are not gonna give up
we aren’t just a bit to count now
we ain’t workin just to make the cut
we are not gonna fold under
we are not gonna give up
we aren’t just a bit to count now
we ain’t workin just to make the cut
we’ll turn it on
