Chorus
Imagine the mountains I’ll move
When I find my own peace of mind
Drag my hands, across the lines on my face,
In my own time
The city I withstand
Sits righteous in my hand
Verse 1
Every day my pained reflection
In their happiness, my affliction
Billboard grab my attention
Somebody else’s new invention
I know that sound
Sad girls make the world go round
Verse 2
The empty space inside me
Fills a void that haunts me
“How could you be more lonely?”,
Spoke a voice, so holy -
It stretches at my skin,
“Go on, let it in”
Chorus
But imagine the mountains I’ll move
When I find my own peace of mind
Drag my hands, across the lines on my face,
In my own time.
Momentary pain,
In the echoes of my name.
Verse 3
I’ll pay with time like money
Soak the skin with honey
And when I pay for my dreams
Remember what you told me?
“They won’t survive,
If you’re over 25.”
Verse 4
You yearn for my affection
Missed calls and missed connections
I’ll drink to my destruction,
Disrupt the youth production,
And you make me cry every time
Every time
Every time
Chorus
But imagine the mountains I’ll move
When I find my own peace of mind
Drag my hands, across the lines on my face,
In my own time.
The city I withstand,
Sits righteous in my hand
Bridge
But now, my world is raging
Inside, right behind
These dark eyes
And in time,
I’ll walk a bolder line
Sated, and satisfied
In your silence
Right behind
These dark eyes
Chorus
And imagine the mountains I’ll move
When I find my own peace of mind
Drag my hands, across the lines on my face,
In my own time.
Momentary pain,
In the echoes of my name

Stand at the windowsill
Let the light in
Don’t talk too loud
In the middle of the room
Be your own person
Speak when you’re spoken to
Have your own thoughts
But follow with the rest of us
Be successful
Make a lot of progress
Are you sure you want that?
There’s other people waiting.
Calm your emotions
You’re so unstable
Do some meditation
Take your pills, get on with it.
Stand at the windowsill
Let the light in
Don’t talk too loud
In the middle of the room
Be your own person
Speak when you’re spoken to
Have your own thoughts
But follow with us.
Be successful
Make a lot of progress
I’m not sure I want that…
Calm your emotions
You’re so unstable
Do some meditation
Get o - it
Get o - it
O - it
Stand at the windowsill
Let the light in
Don’t talk too loud.
Don’t talk too -
Be your own person
Speak when you’re spoken to
Have your own thoughts
But follow with us.
Be successful
Make a lot of progress
I’m not sure I want that…
Calm your emotions
You’re so unstable
Do some meditation
Get o - it
Get o - it
O - it
Stand at the windowsill
Let the light in
Don’t talk too loud
Don’t talk too -
Don’t talk too -
And you have no objections to working on weekends?
Oh not at all. My time is completely my own.

Verse 1
Remember how lost we’ve been
We’re lonely people in the city
Drinking and breathing the diamond dust
Don’t leave me when I’m dreaming in the city
Chorus
Our towers of fire are
Standing over
‘Cause I want to know you
Verse 2
Lights guide my way to you
Hands shaking as I cross the room
Embers in your eyes
Reflecting the ache of my
Chorus
Heart
Let flames break through
‘Cause I want to know you
Verse 3
Will you meet me there?
Under the fires in the sky
Peace lie down with me
Be the mirror of my
Chorus
Heart
And break in two
‘Cause I want to know you
Bridge
Remember how lost we’ve been
We’re lonely people in the city
You know I’ve tried
I’ve tried to keep the whispers out of view
Shadows on my back
Hidden deep
Midnight blue
But with you
I can’t hide the ache of my
Chorus
Heart
And break in two
‘Cause I want to know you

Verse 1
Enter the room
Forgotten
Lift me above
The others
I’ll bring down the heavens
For you, for you
Verse 2
Constructed from birth
A “woman”,
Tending the ground
Untrodden
I’ll bring down the heavens
On you, for you
Chorus (x 2)
Darling, don’t be afraid,
In the dark, I’m waiting,
Suffocating
What do you mean, you hate it?
You built this cage that I’m laid in.
Verse 3
Spirits will hide
Around corners
Waiting for her
To restore us
We’ll bring down the heavens
On you, on you
Verse 4
Inside the lines
Discovered,
Tenets divine,
Uncovered
They’ll bring down the heavens
On you, on you
‘Cause the page was a blade with my name on it
Chorus (x 2)
Verse 5
Collective aligned,
Arisen
Ego defied,
Unforgiven
We’ll bring down the heavens,
On you, on you
Instrumental/Bridge
I hate it
I hate it
I hate it
What do you mean,
What do you mean,
You hate it?
You hate it?
I hate it.
Chorus x 2
