Aviatik - Just The Same lyrics

rate me

This precaution ties us down<br />

From our ambition to be weightless<br />

Here we're tethered to the ground<br />

While our hearts lead us to fly<br />

And the unity we seek<br />

As we attempt to integrate this<br />

No one sees the implications<br />

We must coalesce or die<br />

<br />

And the loss, look at what it cost<br />

Couldn't this fly before the wires got crossed?<br />

<br />

Breaking down is just the same<br />

As blank submission<br />

Compromise is just the same as giving up<br />

When we've finally lost ourselves<br />

It breaks me, so shake me<br />

Compromise is just the same as giving up<br />

<br />

In defense of things untried<br />

Innovation can seem daunting<br />

Held by walls of fear and pride<br />

While the wicked love to lie<br />

In the failures of the past<br />

There's a hint of something haunting<br />

No one sees the implications<br />

We must coalesce or die<br />

<br />

Left inside and we never could tell<br />

This was true<br />

When it breaks you<br />

There's nobody left here but you<br />

You'll never see what's in me<br />

'Til we break ourselves apart<br />

You'll never see what's in me, what's in me<br />

<br />

So you took me from the ashes<br />

And your eyes could see right through me<br />

It breaks me, it shakes, me<br />

It breaks me, I've done my time here<br />

So you took me from the ashes, it's another lie<br />

It breaks me, it shakes, me it breaks me, <br />

I've done my time with you<br />

<br />

We're not forgiving, not forgetting<br />

I've never been the way that I feel right now<br />

<br />

Stand strong and fix bayonets boys<br />

We used to raise our torches to ignite this light<br />

Illuminate this emblem for tonight we fight<br />

When your last ambition dies<br />

Close your windows, shut your eyes<br />

Your light shines shorter than a shooting star<br />

<br />

Rise up, lift your voices<br />

We're not giving up
