lyrics

I’ll tell them
I was raised by wolves
I’ll tell them
How they ate my heart and kept some in a jar
And they used my bones to pick their teeth
And they drank their wine and lived on grief
And I buried myself
So I wouldn't die

I’ll tell them
When I was in my grave
I’ll tell them
How I sang so sweet but made no noise
And I didn't write, because, what was the choice?
And the drums above my head
Would loosen stones

I've seen my trials
I've seen my death
And a well-oiled machine
Is burning through the night
In my dreams
Burning through the night
In my dreams
You only need a small reason
To Be

I’ll tell them
What they want to hear
I’ll tell them
Of bubbling glasses; of silk and cream
Of all the money to live out your dreams
I’ll tell them
I’ll tell them
I’ll tell them

I've seen my trial
I've seen my death
And a well-oiled machine
Is burning through the night
In my dreams
Burning through the night
In my dreams

Just give me a reason
Give me a reason
I have a reason
To Be
