Callie Moore - Burst Lyrics

Callie Moore - Burst

Hello child
Welcome to this world
You've arrived
With two feet, two hands and two eyes
Is what you see a surprise?

You're soft and you're innocent
You are pure and you're heaven sent
I hope that you're sure
Just what it is that you're in for

Your feet will learn to move in different strides
And your hands will start to raise toward the skies
And your eyes will open wide

And then you'll see the reason why I burst at the seams
And I rent my clothes because there's only extremes
There's no grey anymore
The mob wants your soul, they'll either take it or not

They'll either take it or not

All you high and powerful ones of the earth
You have all been granted by earth
The invaluable decision to do whatever you will

Will you kill all the innocent ones?
Will you invent your own religion?
Will you give them your guns?
Will you teach them it's a privilege to stand in front of your ranks?
Will you scream? Will you rage? Will you hate?
Will you transmit your voice on satellite with all the images that wake us in the middle of the night?
Will you rule this world in horror and fright?

Or will you see it all and burst at the seams?
Will you rent your clothes because there's only extremes?
There's no grey

And innocent child, what would you die for?
You must decide before it gets too late
Because war doesn't have a time to wait

And little boy why are you crying?
Just wipe your tears and pick yourself up
Because that's not what a soldier does

Hello child
And welcome to your life
You never thought that it'd be such a fight
To survive and just be alright

Take your feet and run the most enduring stride
Use your hands to lift someone towards the sky
With your love, please open their eyes

So they can see the reason why we burst at the seams
And they'll rent their clothes because there's only extremes
There's no grey anymore
There's no grey anymore
There's no grey anymore
There's no grey anymore

Callie Moore - Grand Finale Lyrics

Callie Moore - Grand Finale

Say what you will, love
What have you wanted to say to me for so long?
You're anything but delicate
Jeers won't offend me
My ears won't pretend to not hear
What I have always done wrong

So baby

Say what you will, love
It might be smooth, and it might be rough
Your words are only sounds
They come around
They go to town
They bring me down
Then I drown them in my half-empty cup

The most beautiful sound that I have ever heard
Doesn't even come close to being your words

Say what you will, love
Everything is just colours separated by light
I can't deny you your sight
But you see what you want and it won't be long before you think that you're right
So open your eyes to the truth of the thing
It's got nothin' to do with acts and intermissions and scenes
You poor delusional man
I try to do what I can
But still, I'm losin' you inside of the screen

The most beautiful thing that I've seen in this life
You can't understand 'cause you've made yourself blind

Walk where you will, love, it won't be long before you trip over the one thing that's not in your way but somehow you still manage to stumble upon

An untamed, unwritten girl
She paints her own line it's unstraight, unnarrow, unraveled and curled
And in your straight-up, psychiatric certainty, you're sure she's gonna ruin your whole world

So, go if you want, love
I might just be crying in your tracks
But most likely not
So if it makes you feel better
When she asks you can tell her that I still want you back
You're always good at that lie
All your life, love
Say what she wants to hear
Play on her biggest fears
Manipulate her tears and give us your grand finale
And just stand back and tally your ovation
So dear, I think you'll find there will be no-one standing in here
