lyrics

I wish I knew your name before you found it
I wish we were the same, a striking perfect match
We’re glowing in the dark, our palms are lanterns
And you’re giving me your spark to hold on to when you’re gone

You have no plan but you follow it
As though your life depends on it
You roll the dice and you count on it
To show you where to go

You know you’re the best solution
All you needs a revolution
Kill your darlings retribution
Cut and paste use your illusion
Fake it till you make it
And if that won’t work just go and take it
They can run but you are quicker
Leave the light, make it flicker
Leave the light, leave the light, leave the light

I watch you as you grow long like a shadow
You wanted them to know the real heart inside of you
The power’s in your hand, you taste it on your tongue
But they won’t understand until you’re long gone

You have no plan but you follow it
As though your life depends on it
You roll the dice and you count on it
To show you where to go

Close your eyes, it’s a delusion
Never ask for absolution
Break your mirrors, end pollution
You can trust your own conclusion
Fake it till you make it
And if that won’t work just go and take it
They can run but you are quicker
Leave the light, make it flicker
Leave the light, leave the light, leave the light

I wish I knew your name before you found it
