lyrics

Sometimes I can’t tell if this rhythm I’m on
Is my own or somebody else's
Feed me the lines I’ll pretend they’re mine
But don’t expect me to accept it

Oh no, I didn’t ask to be on your guest list

Once upon a time I would run and hide
Not wanting to side with the others
Now the voice in my head says stay in bed
Forget advice from your mother

Oh no, the audience is growing restless

I find now when I look in your eyes
There’s a calm cold confusion
And when I look back at mine it’s no surprise
I keep making mad decisions

And now I’m finding that I
Need to burn down your religion

No, it’s not what I expected

Ah here they come, watch them run
The walls around you are breaching
You can lead if you want or die at the front
While the rest of the heroes lay sleeping
Or you can love, rise above
Kneel down If you feel it
But nothing they say can take away
Our love, they’ll never break it
Oh no, stay but never accept it

Take my name off the guest list
This is not what we expected
Off the guest list
The guest list
