Emerge

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Skye] I want so bad to seize my bliss But when I grab it it always crumbles in my fist All I'm left with is ignorance And little bits of glitter stuck on my fingertips I don't want to go, I don't want to do this Feel it disappearing the second that it's new, it's a curse And the worst part is I really thought I figured out a way to make it stop But I'm not that smart, I was never taught How to keep myself going when the going gets hard I know what you're thinking We're like, "this will be the one," but look, the ship's sinking I know you don't understand But if it's in sight maybe it'll fall into my hands All I need is one chance, if I blow it I'm done All I ask, all I need, just give me one [Chorus: Sam] You stay so locked away, I've given enough You want to suddenly emerge to me You tried to run the way you've taken before You were falling endlessly, endlessly [Verse 2: Skye] Give me a single reason why I should be Putting this down and picking up drudgery If there's a sign that this was not meant to be Show me and make me fail catastrophically Give in to living as one of the many Admitting I'm nothing and knowing there's plenty of fools Just like me, just chasing dreams Unattainable and basic as they may be If it's one in a million it's us, baby I'll never give in, I'll never recede I'll lose all my cash, I'll lose my beliefs, I'll die on the streets I'm a legend and I'll never get told Fuck that, I'm a god and I'll never get old One day you'll hear this and wonder how I knew And Imma look real stupid if it ain't the truth But I'm making up my mind, put it all on the line Pushing all my chips in, I'm about to get mine [Bridge: Sam] Don't believe in it now, but then later you find There's no room in the crowd on the wagon we ride Drive alone just for now, carve a path with no signs I just know it's about time [Chorus: Sam] You stay so locked away, I've given enough You want to suddenly emerge to me You tried to run the way you've taken before You were falling endlessly, endlessly [Post-Chorus: Skye] I'm cool when I wanna be Smart when I wanna be Strong when I'm smart when I'm cool when I wanna be Smart when I wanna be Strong when I'm smart when I'm cool when I wanna be Smart when I wanna be Strong when I'm smart when I'm cool when I wanna be Smart when I wanna be [Outro: Both] I'm cool when I wanna be Smart when I wanna be Strong when I'm smart when I'm cool when I wanna be Smart when I wanna be Strong when I'm smart when I'm cool when I wanna be Smart when I wanna be Strong when I'm smart when I'm cool when I wanna be
