Repentance!

[Chorus]
I had a dream
Where I was you and you were me
And I was running
Til the ground unwound
And then I couldn't see

I fell in deeper and you
You fell in deeper and I
I fell in deeper and you
You fell in deeper and I

I had a dream
Where I was you and you were me
But I'd forgotten exactly who I used to be

I fell in deeper and you
You fell in deeper and I
I fell in deeper and you
You fell in deeper and I-

[Verse 1]
Ever since I was young, back when I still believed in destiny
I was a cog in the machine the regime needed me to be

To be [REDACTED] To be [REDACTED]

The way it feels to get the same reused excuse, and then
A million new excuses to excuse their last excuses

Oh it's getting real bad
It's too dangerous to react
How we live just isn't fair
But if you're smart, then you'd be scared

When I was introduced to the genuine truth
I knew what I was born to do
I'd lay down my life, if it means doing right by
The ones who lost the good fight!

[Pre-Chorus]
And when you ran
And when you ran, God, it hurt
But I'll focus on my work
It's still such a shame
You'll miss out on all the change

And before you write your foreword
Yes, you may have moved me forward
But I won't run away, I won't be afraid
So why...did I....

[Chorus]
I had a dream
Where I was you and you were me
And I was running
Til the ground unwound and then I couldn't see

I fell in deeper and you
You fell in deeper and I
I fell in deeper and you
You fell in deeper and I

I had a dream
Where I was you and you were me
But I'd forgotten exactly who I used to be

I fell in deeper and you
You fell in deeper and I
I fell in deeper and you
You fell in deeper and I-

[Verse 2]
If you can keep a secret, I guess I'll let you in
I'm planning something so big it's gonna change everything
And now we're getting closer, and I can almost reach
A world I thought only existed in my wildest dreams

We can rebuild our nation, right from the very start
And make it better after we're done tearing it apart
And if you close your eyes, and try to picture it
We could be living lives completely different

[Bridge]
When you went missing, I did nothing
I can't forgive myself, I'm so ashamed
I will engage in my repentance as a form of penance
And I will never, EVER make the same mistake

I cried your name so loud
And caught the eyes of the crowd
And just like that
The town must have snapped
And everyone lost their heads
And that was the end!

[Chorus]
I had a dream
Where I was you and you were me
And I was running
Til the ground unwound and then I couldn't see

I fell in deeper and you
You fell in deeper and I
I fell in deeper and you
You fell in deeper and I

I had a dream
Where I was you and you were me
And I've forgotten exactly who I used to be

And now I'm falling deeper
And now I'm falling deeper
And now I'm falling deeper
And now I'm falling deeper
