The Offspring - Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace

Half-Truism

One is for envy and one just for spite
The cuts in my heart, they show in your eyes
Don't make it better, the twisting knife turns all by itself on to someone else
Your self-liberation will leave this behind (oh, oh-oh-oh)
Beyond slings and arrows that rain on our minds (oh, oh-oh-oh)
You'll make it better, shake it off, it never mattered anyway (oh, oh)

If we don't make it alive
Well, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

The banner you're waving is burning and red
It's blocking the sunlight that shines overhead
You against the world, diamonds and pearls voices inside you churn, watch the city burn
Your own liberation will leave them behind (oh, oh-oh-oh)
All the slings and arrows that rain on your mind (oh, oh-oh-oh)
Don't make it better, break it 'cause it never mattered anyway (oh, oh)

If we don't make it alive
Well, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

I
Won't
Calm
Down

The banner you're waving (the banner you're weaving)
Is burning and red (is burning and red)
You against the world, diamonds and pearls, it never mattered, mattered, mattered, anyway

If we don't make it alive
Well, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long

All our light that shines strong
Only lasts for so long
