Ascensions - No Bragging Rights

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
