Not Good Enough for It
feel the music feel the music feel the music
i bet it doesn’t rip apart your heart
crawl up your throat
ruin your breath and choke your words
i bet it doesn’t make your chest hurt
make your feet slide
make your fingers shake on keys you can’t play
see the stars see the stars see the stars
i bet you can see every single one here and now
cannot reach a single one
can never stand tall and touch them ever
i bet your hands are up so high
are wanting everything
are so closecloseclose and are so far
what if you want something you can never have
you can feel it and you can see it if only you
could reach it
every minute it tears you apart from
the inside out
every minute it beats around crazy
inside of you
what if you’re standing on the tips of your toes
you’re so close and you can taste it if only you
could do it
it’s not like you can’t feel it
it’s not like you can’t imagine it
it’s not like you don’t know it’s there
you’re just not good enough for it
feel the music feel the music feel the music
i bet it doesn’t rip apart your heart
crawl up your throat
ruin your breath and choke your words
i bet it doesn’t make your chest hurt
make your feet slide
make your fingers shake on keys you can’t play
what if you could do anything you wanted
see it in your head, put to the page, give it to the world
anytime you wanted
what if you could do anything you wanted
feel it in your fingers, bleed it out, keep it no more
let everyone else deal
what if you could do anything you wanted
hear it loud as the monsters in your closet,
kill it dead with your fame
see the stars see the stars see the stars
i bet you can see every single one here and now
cannot reach a single one
can never stand tall and touch them ever
i bet your hands are up so high
are wanting everything
are so closecloseclose and yet so far
what if you could do anything you wanted
except this thing that drives you insane
with every dream
what if you could do anything you wanted
except this thing in your blood
that boils strong
what if you could do anything you wanted
except this thing splitting your skin
with every scream
feel the music feel the music feel the music
i bet it doesn’t rip apart your heart
crawl up your throat
ruin your breath and choke your words
i bet it doesn’t make your chest hurt
make your feet slide
make your fingers shake on keys you can’t play
you’re just not good enough for it
