The Guest List

Sometimes I can't tell if this rhythm I'm on

Is my own or somebody else's

Feed me the lines I'll pretend they're mine

But don't expect me to accept it

Oh no, I didn't ask to be on your guest list

Once upon a time I would run and hide

Not wanting to side with the others

Now the voice in my head says stay in bed

Forget advice from your mother

Oh no, the audience is growing restless

I find now when I look in your eyes

There's a calm cold confusion

And when I look back at mine it's no surprise

I keep making mad decisions

And now I'm finding that I

Need to burn down your religion

No, it's not what I expected

Ah here they come, watch them run

The walls around you are breaching

You can lead if you want or die at the front

While the rest of the heroes lay sleeping

Or you can love, rise above

Kneel down If you feel it

But nothing they say can take away

Our love, they'll never break it

Oh no, stay but never accept it

Take my name off the guest list

This is not what we expected

Off the guest list
