Lyrics

Look, look what they’ve done
They’ve unlocked all the cages
The cure for our disease
Is hidden in the pages
Thick with the plot of our decline
Copied and collected and defined

CHORUS:
The more that we are, we’re not
The more that we are, we’re not

Take, take what you need
Whatever gets you through this?
Someone’s out of place
No matter how we do this
And they’ll point to their god and say be scared
Spend your days to get yourself prepared

CHORUS
And the more that we are, we’re not

BRIDGE:
Stones sit on these graves
As if a bet’s been placed

Seely, I tell you things
I want you to hear
You won’t believe
When, when we were ghosts
And walked through worlds
Nobody sees
There our secrets were safe
Hidden away
Like memories
And the notes passed in class
Folded in halves
I hold on to these

And the lines that kill me
Are ones that fill me with love
“When you look back
On the ones you lose track of
They’re all gone, or so you thought”

CHORUS

The more that we are X3
We’re not!

The more that we are, we’re not, the more that we are we’re not! X8
