Lately

 When we raise the flame

 Underline the strain

 Suffocate the shame 

 And burst the walls we trust

  

 When we play the game

 Expedite the pain

 Sooner than you think

 The worst will turn to thirst

 And if you give it some time

 It’ll sit right in your stomach 

 It would be about time

 To say whatever you want

 Say 

 Lately… I don’t care if you don’t love me

 Sedately, out of the fortress, into the wild

 When we claim the name 

 No one stops the train

 When there’s more of you to blame 

 And curse when you’re not first

 And if you give it some time

 It’ll sit right in your stomach

 It would be about time

 To say whatever you want

 And if you give it some time

 Then it will be about time 

 To say whatever you want 

 Say 

 Lately… I don’t care if you don’t love me

 Sedately, out of the fortress, into the wild
