With Honours - Junior Battles

In the choir we can forget

Forgive ourselves and maybe get some sleep

Every morning we make choices

To kill ourselves for someone else’s dream

We try to make our own inventions

But we stop trying when these hills look too steep

Every morning we make choices

To kill ourselves 'cause we can’t even dream, anymore

The clock says it’s two a.m.

We wake up at four

In the choir we can forget

Turn out the lights and think of how we sleep

If we just get off all these fixtures

Furniture, powered in the streets

Stop paying rent, don’t go to work,

Move to a new town and change your name

Buy a new car, watch different films,

Read different books, but you laugh the same

The towns we lived in

A distant memory

Burned your own house down

When you were seventeen

The towns we lived in

A distant memory

Burned your own house down

When you were seventeen

Aspirations in the rubble of the front door

Swinging like a wrecking ball

Travel right on through the floor

Tied up in a basement, next to classes to forget

All those stupid dreams that fall behind

The college degrees that you buy, anymore

The clock says it’s two a.m.

We wake up at four

We just can’t dream anymore
