lyrics

Again I'll try
To live the lie
But I feel their eyes
Trained on me

I always know
Just what to show
But in the end
I feel incomplete

So jam a square peg
Into a round hole
Never see that a better fit
Is possible

Why do we never cease
All the opportunities?
And refuse to believe
We can be so much more?

Look to the sky
And leave it all behind
Your doubts confine
So leave them all behind
No matter what's outside
Leave it all behind

You've been in here too long
And everything feels wrong
So get movin' on!

Young girl/old crimes
Of a thousand lives
I trip and fade
With my broke down life

So who am I
To save your life?
We reign divine
In its failed design

Sustain the choir
Of demented fire
We sing in rhymes
And battle cries

So all hail and all rise
Like electric light
Eyes skyward high
And we'll never die

Look to the sky
And leave it all behind
Your soul will fly
And leave them all behind
No matter what's outside
Leave it all behind

When you've been afraid so long
That everything feels wrong
Get movin' on!

We're moving on ...YEAH!

So look to the sky
And leave it all behind
Get away from the lies
And leave them all behind
No matter what's outside
Leave it all behind

You've been in here too long
And everything feels wrong

So get movin' on!
...I'm moving on...
Get movin' on!
...I'm moving on...
Get movin' on!

I'M MOVIN' ON!
