We Are Not Magnificent
We’ll look into the orb and pretend that we see God
But we can’t stop lying and our eyes stay shut
Stare down at our dead-end tears and empty coffee cups
The salt falls on our unmarked graves
As we lie to the sky and pretend that we’ve seen the truth
Because we are not magnificent
And we are the dreamers without the dreams
And we pretend that we’re okay but
We are not magnificent
If you say I’m real, I’ll say you’re real
And we can say we were the ones who learnt how to feel
We’ll pretend that’s what we meant
And laugh our echoes into the silence
As we cry to the stars that
We are not magnificent.
And we are the dreamers without the dreams
And we pretend that we’re okay but
We are not magnificent
If you say I’m real, I’ll say you’re real
And we can say we were the ones who learnt how to feel
But we can’t stop lying and our eyes stay shut
Stare down at our dead-end tears and empty coffee cups
The salt falls on our unmarked graves
As we lie to the sky and pretend that we’ve seen the truth
Because we are not magnificent
And we are the dreamers without the dreams
And we pretend that we’re okay but
We are not magnificent
If you say I’m real, I’ll say you’re real
And we can say we were the ones who learnt how to feel
We’ll pretend that’s what we meant
And laugh our echoes into the silence
As we cry to the stars that
We are not magnificent.
And we are the dreamers without the dreams
And we pretend that we’re okay but
We are not magnificent
If you say I’m real, I’ll say you’re real
And we can say we were the ones who learnt how to feel
