Robin Pecknold - Be Yourself lyrics

How does it feel When life doesn't seem real And you're floating about on your own Your life seems uncertain So you draw the curtain Pretending there's nobody home (chorus) Don't theorize Look in your eyes They can't tell lies Though you may disguise what you see The mirror is free We once had a savior But by our behavior The one that was worth it is gone Song birds are talking And runners are walking A prodigal son's coming home (chorus) Don't theorize Look in his eyes They won't tell lies But if he defies what you see He'll give you a key Be yourself (why don't you be yourself?) Be yourself (why don't you be...?) We needed a tutor So built a computer And programmed ourselves not to see The truth and the lying The dead and the dying A silent majority (chorus) So don't theorize Look in their eyes Are they telling lies The ones that you see on T.V What a way to be free Be yourself (why don't you be yourself?) Be yourself (why don't you be yourself?) Be yourself (why don't you be yourself?) Be yourself (why don't you be yourself?)
