In Love with the Sound

I've lead with the wrong foot again
 Crossing lines that no one asked you to defend.
 You stare me down chanting conform or leave.
 Conform or leave.
 We've got our Old Pride and We've got our Honest Sleep,
 We've got nights when the room came alive and reaffirmed our faith
 That this can change lives.
 We are the pulse that beats
 And we are the breath that flows
 And we will scream along until our heart stops.
 And I no longer believe
 That we are all in this together
 So you can keep your basements
 If it means we have to be better than our friends.
 When did we start settling
 When did we say good enough
 If only we listened to all the words we sang,
 Then I wouldn't have to remind you
 Filled with fucking cliches
 That I would rather
 Play from the heart.
