[Intro]
We don't belong here
[Verse 1]
In a way, we are all connected
Threaded together
In a way, we are all suspended
Bound going nowhere
[Pre-Chorus]
Wake up
Walk on the wires
Defeat and define
Wake up
Evolve and escape
Unravel, unmake yourself
[Chorus]
We speak in tongues
And we walk on the wires between
(We don't belong here)
We are the sleeping sickness
The dancing dreams
(We don't belong here)
We're invaders from the inside
We're survivors in silver skin
Shapeless, we move
Unwinding the wires between
(We don't belong here)
[Verse 2]
So we'll follow, follow down
Each knotless fathom to the end
No more hollow, hollow sounds
Of echoes, echoes in our heads
[Pre-Chorus]
Wake up
Walk on the wires
Connect and combine
Wake up
React and reshape
Untangle, unmake yourself
[Chorus]
We speak in tongues
And we walk on the wires between
(We don't belong here)
We are the sleeping sickness
The dancing dreams
(We don't belong here)
We're invaders from the inside
We're survivors in silver skin
Shapeless, we move
Unwinding the wires between
(We don't belong here)
[Bridge]
It's been a long, long night
And we're still learning how to survive
Will you walk with me a while
And see a world with brand new eyes?
We see the sights
And we're fighting for our lives
Will you run?
Will you run?
Will you run?
[Spoken]
(It's no longer survival of the fittest)
(Now that everyone survives)
(But we don't want to survive)
(We want to live)
[Refrain]
In a way, we are all connected
Threaded together
In a way, we are all suspended
[Chorus]
We speak in tongues
And we walk on the wires between
(We don't belong here)
We are the sleeping sickness
The dancing dreams
(We don't belong here)
We're invaders from the inside
We're survivors in silver skin
Shapeless, we move
Unwinding the wires between
(We don't belong here)

This song is about breaking out of the presupposed patterns of life that are handed to our generation. I’m excited that people are beginning to think about and question our role as subjects to money, advertising, government, religion—not necessarily questioning those things themselves but their infl...
