Wallflower Lyrics

I like living in the background, someplace where your eyes won't fall

My mind's better off without crowds, introspective words don't come out

Meeting like this taking to our sound, finding love in the lost and found

We took to keeping our heads down, took to keeping our smiles frowns

Took to keeping our heads down, took to keeping our smiles frowns

Took to keeping to

Selfless chaining to our cages taking after the archangels

Seeking freedom

Realizing that

We have a need to create our own

Not like I wanna be bad

And not like I wanna seem distant from the pack, broken so go back home

But keep your head up

Nothing is nothing

Petals are petals

And thorns are thorns

The leaves will leave

When we believe

The seeds will bloom

Illuminate the dark

There are things to say, but there are other ways

Take a moment smell a rose and let your eyes stargaze

Do you still need them to hear you say

Any words that ain't about today

We think the world is grey and we should be afraid

Even though you'll find your shadow near the light's lampshade

Where you'll often find your mind is made

Where your outlet helps illuminate

I know, you wanna take the high road

But if you really wanna travel take 'em both

And if you fear the dirt or gravel bang the gavel, go

What you have to say but can't articulate

Always holds more weight than how well you can shout it

Music's always written 'bout the moments without it

I know, you wanna take the high road

But if you really wanna travel take 'em both

And if you fear the dirt or gravel bang the gavel, go

What you have to say but can't articulate

Always holds more weight than how well you can shout it

Music's always written 'bout the moments without it

Used to be cool but now we're just cold

Used to have potential but now we're just old

Used to be decisive but now we're just told

Used to be cool but now we're just cold

Got lost and found in it

Tossed around in it

Fell from the clouds, taking lance off then watched the ground in it

Don't have to break 'em down 'til it weighs about a thousand pounds

Still find a way to shake the weight off

Get weighed off, think I was off, I was weighed down

I feel a sense of uplift

Something in the air

I will lay and wait for it

Stay away for it

Pave the way for it

Make my way towards, maybe move towards

Moving all of you towards

I don't know what all of you for, I don't know

Thinking on myself as the road bends

Some road ends, new road begin again

Same song in my mind again and again

Used to be a wallflower, now I'm a tall flower

Sees an image of itself in the sun as it sets

And as it rises no compromise, not yet

Nothing you're taught, no problems

Smooth as we leave

We're getting farther than you ever even believed was possible to go

Other than the closest star

Let it come to you before you know who you are

When the leaves are old and wise, and they're ready to go

And the trees are ready to let go

You'll see without your eyes, what they want you to know

Used to be cool but now it's cold

The cold then caused the fire, and the ash in the light

So the clouds drop rain and create life

The life grows from the ground, and the leaves and the trees will reunite

I know, you wanna take the high road

But if you really wanna travel take 'em both

And if you fear the dirt or gravel bang the gavel, go

What you have to say but can't articulate

Always holds more weight than how well you can shout it

Music's always written 'bout the moments without it

I know, you wanna take the high road

But if you really wanna travel take 'em both

And if you fear the dirt or gravel bang the gavel, go

What you have to say but can't articulate

Always holds more weight than how well you can shout it

Music's always written 'bout the moments without it

Music's always written 'bout the moments without it

Music's always written 'bout the moments without it

Music's always written 'bout the moments without it

Music's always written 'bout the moments without it

To you, by you, of you, for you

If these wallflowers could talk

The voices diluted and sustained

Vaporous syllables merely floating

Music's always written about the moments without it

(Do it purposefully)
