Matthew Thiessen And The Earthquakes - The Calendar, The Energy (if This Is You Than Woe) Lyrics

I'm looking at a photograph of heaven
And the personnel they let in expose the souls who're not afraid to show
I'll analyze the world and all its people
Concluded everyone is evil and I more so than anyone
I know I have my faults
But I'd so much rather look at yours and pretend I have none at all
But who am I kidding anyway

I won't give you the satisfaction of seeing me when I'm like this
Cause honestly you wouldn't like this
So close your eyes and watch my hide

I won't give you the satisfaction of seeing me broken and bleeding
Life that is barely still breathing
So close your eyes and watch me hide
Watch me hide

So I wander off where no one else can find me
And the silence will remind me that this is more sobering than I thought
I could hold on to that old familiar lie that is pretend nothing's wrong
But who am I kidding anyway

And I thought it'd be okay
Innocence to not do anything
But sometimes as you grow smarter, your heart grows harder
Stupid things that those around us do
Often make us angry and teach us not follow suit
Just be sure your heart stays full, not emptied out and cynical
Lately, your self is someone you can't be
And I say if this is you than woe is me
