Get Up
I've got a broken nose but I can still smell a rose
Behind every beautiful tree there's been a nest of crows
I was misfired and forlorn but God only knows
If failure's just a form of success and tears are for show
So I've been living in the shadows for a long, long time
I've been running 'round in circles while standing in a line
Eager for demise, beneath countless stars that align
My senses were just focused on making me resign
I was making myself go away, so my name turned anonymous
It just takes a pair of eyes and we'll all be seen as Adonises
I was toiling in the boiling waters of my own mistake
Don't hide behind the haystack, sometimes you gotta break
Singing symphonies of never-ending empty promises
I've been gazing at a doorway, but never took those few steps
I've gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the moonbeams
I've never believed that it would depend on an astronaut at the seams, 'cause
I was going under
But I've come to understand
It was never too soon to end
And I still have you, my friend
All this time I was speeding up
When I just needed to slowly get up
Get up, get up, get up!
The most noble things are the things that are in vain
I climb this hill of knives barefoot, numbing all the pain
Leaving steel-eyed spectres and a wonderland of bane
Acting as a ghost, in the picture but out of the frame
Soaking up the dark searching for flint and stone, a spark
Demons may not flee, but it's in their chains that I'll feel free
I'll get over the tears from loving you again
Fade gracefully with every echoing grain of sand
How soon will dawn if everything's gone?
I need to meet myself, make space for who I am
I'm at a crossroads weaving my fate
The more I am early, the more I am late
I thought that my time kept running out
But it's only the hardworking that have any time at all
Break the 4th wall when you're out of the view
Don't let yourself down if they're not next to you, 'cause I did that too, I'm telling you, that
I was going under
But I've come to understand
It was never too soon to end
And I still have you, my friend
All this time I was speeding up
When I just needed to solely get up
Get up, get up, get up!
Get up, get up, get up!
I'll make a head start, win back my dreams
I'll live my life just as it is
Just make amends, at no expense
Peace is a belief, love is immense
Do not be scared when something takes your breath away
Heal and salute all the flaws and dismay
Do not say farewell if you won't greet "hi"
Stay grounded and use the dirt to fly
I was going under
But I've come to understand
Even at the end
You'll always be my friend
All this time I was looking down
When all I needed was just to get up
Get up, get up, get up!
Get up, get up, get up!
Get up, get up, get up!
Get up, let yourself get up!
And oh, we're accidental
And everything we've been through is accidental
Oh, isn't that magical?
I've never believed in magic
But there's no other word
For this thing that we have
So little time, but this is our forever
