Evergreen Confessional

[instrumental] [fast rap] Is it too late to believe? December fading out, but the days are getting longer. Am I supposed to be changing? Five years ago you hugged me streetlight fog hanging over the stoop you asked if you were too old, i said you'd never hurt me. [female] is it too late to belieeeeve [fast rap] Now I'm older than you then, less dazzled, more well-traveled. Well then...I suppose I've grown in more ways than one, but it's Christmas at my parents again and I'm sixteen, bored and waiting something's gotta crack open, I just knew it, I just know it [female] is it too late to belieeeeve [fast rap] This song's not even about you, no I've been at the altar without you, yes, I've been married to Time this whole time He saw me dragging myself over the threshold of each day but now I'm a runaway bride, and everyone's running past and my kitten's a cat, she's halfway through, what will I do, (what will I do?) and the earth's running hot, and the servers are humming, and the core keeps turning [female] is it too late to belieeeeve [fast rap] And wasn't there a movie where the mountains were a tsunami? I wonder if it's better to see the horizon coming at you waves crashing down or hear nothing at all, the expanse ever expanding, You know the happiest I ever was, was hammering nails into wood, a shelter in the desert we tore down a week after. Where was I going with all this? I digress--- [female] is it too late to belieeeeve [fast rap] These days you gotta find your own church It was always money for some, EDM now another Since I’ve been able to run, I’ve been a worshipper chasing freedom, but my faith has been fading How do I know? I sleep on plane rides, no longer peering at clouds, Were my parents always hunched so small? I'm trying to breathe in each second, But I always forget, keep holding my breath, And we're fighting again, even though I wanted to ask [crescendo] [piano] [climax] How are you? Who are you? I love you [rap verse] Family's not furniture But we're in the same room again Screens glowing, not speaking And I'm packing again, Leaving again, Christmas lights in cardboard boxes again, And my life's already in afternoon and still I'm wondering Who am I going to be? Who will I meet? Is something going to change? [female] Is it too late to believe??? Too late to believe?? Believe?? Belieeeeve? [piano outro] [soft] Is it too late to believe??? [end]
