Aviatik - Just The Same lyrics

This precaution ties us down From our ambition to be weightless Here we're tethered to the ground While our hearts lead us to fly And the unity we seek As we attempt to integrate this No one sees the implications We must coalesce or die And the loss, look at what it cost Couldn't this fly before the wires got crossed? Breaking down is just the same As blank submission Compromise is just the same as giving up When we've finally lost ourselves It breaks me, so shake me Compromise is just the same as giving up In defense of things untried Innovation can seem daunting Held by walls of fear and pride While the wicked love to lie In the failures of the past There's a hint of something haunting No one sees the implications We must coalesce or die Left inside and we never could tell This was true When it breaks you There's nobody left here but you You'll never see what's in me 'til we break ourselves apart You'll never see what's in me, what's in me So you took me from the ashes And your eyes could see right through me It breaks me, it shakes, me It breaks me, I've done my time here So you took me from the ashes, it's another lie It breaks me, it shakes, me it breaks me, I've done my time with you We're not forgiving, not forgetting I've never been the way that I feel right now Stand strong and fix bayonets boys We used to raise our torches to ignite this light Illuminate this emblem for tonight we fight When your last ambition dies Close your windows, shut your eyes Your light shines shorter than a shooting star Rise up, lift your voices We're not giving up
