Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is not the song
I wanted to write for you
This is not the way
I wanted to make you feel
The truth is so unkind
I can't stop the way that it sounds in your mind
It's loud and it's distorted
The longer you avoid it
[Verse 2]
Too much to settle
So I hide in my golden cage
Silence is starving
Humble pie on a paper plate
Going in circles
And my pride is the piece I hold
I will never settle
'Cause to settle would crush our souls
[Verse 3]
Too much to settle
Silence is starving
I will never settle
I will never settle
[Verse 4]
Going in circles
Silence is starving
I will never settle
I will never settle
[Verse 5]
Caught a glimpse of a normal life
Terrified by the sight
We belong to another time
Dropping vanishing names we knew
But if they don't care about it
Do you still care about it?
[Verse 6]
Too much to settle
Silence is starving
I will never settle
I will never settle
[Verse 7]
(Too much to settle)
So I hide in my golden cage
(Silence is starving)
Humble pie on a paper plate
(Going in circles)
And my pride is the piece I hold
(I will never settle)
'Cause to settle would crush our souls
To settle would crush our souls
[Verse 8]
We will never settle, it would crush our souls
Oh, oh
We will never settle, it would crush our souls
Oh, oh
[Verse 9]
(We will never settle, it would crush our souls)
(Oh, oh)
(We will never settle, it would crush our souls)
(Oh, oh)
