The colors fade
The curtain lifts
As liquid strings
And feedback hiss
Oh, the chord is played
The crowd breaks up into butterflies
Refracting lights
So I put pen to paper
And breaking news
The war is won
But we don't lose
Oh, my thoughts and prayers
My prayers and thoughts
The war is won
But all is lost
I'm not open like your friends I know
I'm not comfortable in crowds like you
But I'm learning how to play by my rules
It's alright to be right with yourself
You've gotta be right with yourself
So can we stop the spinning
Before it's lost
I laughed at first
But that feeling's gone
Oh, we graffitied dawn
And added bass
But I'm not afraid
To know my place
I'm not open like your friends I know
I'm not comfortable in crowds like you
But I'm learning how to play by my rules
It's alright to be right with yourself
You gotta be right
I'm an ocean when I play these chords
But the waves couldn't pull me away
Realize while on that distant shore
It's alright to be right with yourself
You gotta be right with yourself
Oh my
