Best, Not the Masses

[Intro, Great, Iconic, Athmopheric] [Verse 1] You say it’s love But you flinch when I argue Call it devotion Till my “no” starts to bruise you Is it a heart Or a harness you’re holding Is it a promise Or terms you’re unfolding [Chorus] I want the best Not the masses Clear eyes Cut through the glasses Call it love when it lets you breathe Not when it tells you what to be Is this love or submission Real care or a quiet prison Don’t just preach your tolerance If you’re only here to demand it [Verse 2] You raise a flag But you guard every border Say “all are welcome” As you lecture in order You want my voice Till I sing off your script line You want my truth Only when our truths align [Chorus] I want the best Not the masses Clear eyes Cut through the glasses Call it love when it lets you breathe Not when it tells you what to be Is this love or submission Real care or a quiet prison Don’t just preach your tolerance If you’re only here to demand it [Bridge] Who gets to draw the line Who gets to define “kind” Is it a choice if I’m scared to decline (tell me) I’ll trade your gold applause For one hand that holds my flaws For love that listens when I pause [Chorus] I want the best Not the masses Bright minds Shattering glasses Call it love when it lets you breathe Not when it tells you what to be Is this love or submission Full heart or a veiled condition Don’t just preach your tolerance If you’re only here to demand it (demand it)
