On Your Own Lyrics

Happy new year

I hope it treats you well

Nothing much has changed

At least as far as I can tell

Sorry I've been absent

And I tend to carry on

This is not the world we wanted

But it's the one we're living on

And you can't live your life in 24 frames per second

It all goes to black as soon as reality beckons

The backstreets last forever and they always lead you home

And I know you're gonna make it on your own

Hadn't felt it

Until the door was closed

Traumatic moments echo

And survivors stand and pose

Think about it

I'm glad I got the chance

To get out of my dusty room

And ask you for a dance

And you can't live your life in 24 frames per second

It all goes to black as soon as reality beckons

The backstreets last forever and they always lead you home

And I know you're gonna make it on your own

Vindication

A word that is so sweet

I told them all about you

After you told them about me

Stay warm and peaceful

I wish you all the best

I hope that nothing this go round

Will put me to the test

And you can't live your life in 24 frames per second

It all goes to black as soon as reality beckons

The backstreets last forever and they always lead you home

And I know you're gonna make it on your own

Don't you worry 'bout a thing

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Don't you worry 'bout a thing
