Stay for Real

In the brain
In the engine room
The game is a route
I’ve got fires to put out
In the rain
On the eastbound train
Rushing towards some kind of future
Where you found me
In a lonely wooden tower
Nothing’s more real than what it is
And I’m trying to show you
And I never expect
You to deliver me
No, I never wanted
Anything easily
Everything’s changing
We will stay for real
And the way that we speak
Is coming out differently
Nothing we wish for
Ever comes easily
Everything is changing
We will stay for real
Don’t be vain
Don’t swallow the bloom
Keep it plain and devout
As the fires burn out
In my brain
In an unlit lane
Marking the road that leads to nowhere
Where you found me
In a lonely wooden tower
Nothing’s more real than what it is
That’s what I’m trying to show you
And I never expect
You to deliver me
No, I never wanted
Anything easily
Everything’s changing
We will stay for real
And the way that we speak
Is coming out differently
Nothing we wished for
Ever comes easily
Everything’s changing
We will stay for real
