LYRICS

I don’t want to be a survivor.
I’m not proud of my resilience.
I think some people would be kinder
if they cared less for their own brilliance.

‘Cause there’s no reason to spend a life		
hurting hopeful humans 
who don’t want holy advice.  
It’s hard as it is just being alive. 
So if there’s one thing I can make the world before I die,
darlin’, I hope I can make it bright.

So hung up on a hairpin,  
the scribes and the hypocrites,
but if pride is such a deadly sin
why are the greedy passing judgment?
 
It makes no sense to me to spend one’s life
making waking up feel hard for people aching to get by.
Perhaps it’s naïve, perhaps it’s contrived,
but if I ever get the money, I’ve already got the time
to make the world a little more bright.

I’ve never cured my solace
by cementing someone’s pain
or quoting mistranslations 
from the name they use in vain.

As a person, just a person, 
not a problem, I’ve got love to give.
As a person, just a person, 
not a problem, I just want to live.

And if there’s a world where loving people’s a crime,
that’s f*cked up and that feels like a fatal flaw in the design.     
Tomorrow, I hope it’s in your heart to change your mind.
This road has bumps but to me it’s worth the drive,
‘cause if there’s one thing that I aim to make this world before I die,
darlin’, I hope that I make it bright.

I hope I make it bright.
Bright.
