Lyrics Ascensions - No Bragging Rights

Ascensions

So sweet and beautiful
Melodies that break the heart and tear the soul
Never stop singing
Smoke and mirrors drying up your throat
Choke and spit as you reach out for notes
Never stop screaming
Pushed far beyond your breaking point
You care so much even though you know they don’t
When does enough become enough?
What do you do when enough becomes enough?
You close your eyes
And scream, «Goodbye.»
You open your arms and find a way to fly
And fly away from here
To where the air (is) clear
Free from a judging world;
Your beauty is just too much to hold
They’re driving in the fact
That you’re different, but there’s nothing wrong with that
Never stop singing
Your song is brave with just a hint a pain
Proof you’re alive and things can change
Never stop screaming
When you finally see things clearly
You don’t fear leaving
When they can no longer hold you back…
You close your eyes
And scream, «Goodbye.»
You open your arms and find a way to fly
And fly away from here
To where the air (is) clear
Free from a judging world;
Your beauty is just too much to hold
Their attacks are relentless
And I see it all around us…
Their selling us their ideas of what’s «beautiful»
What the hell do they know?
Burn the billboards down
And pull the pages out
Rip the TV off the wall
That isn’t beautiful
