lyrics

Don’t follow the leader
Can’t tell by the way he blows your cover
He’ll send and receive you
And lend you the way to break another
Bone inside the secret
That splits the skin between two lovers

Don’t stick to the border
Don't cross no lines and take no corners
Executive order
To carry the weight you’re breaking under
Stone inside the secret that splits the skin
Between two lovers

So try harder
And prove yourself and all forgiven
No digital armour
To separate the dead from living
Loud and undefeated
Proud that you are needed
Can't wait to meet you
We’re gonna get along just fine

I know that you need it
You’re saving face and faking trouble sleep
With one eye open
Dream of the words to break another
Bone inside the secret
Gonna light the way between two lovers

So, don’t follow the leader
Don’t fall to the ground and blow your cover
He’ll send and deceive you
And lend you the words to break another
Bone inside the secret that lights the way
Between two lovers

So try harder etc

So fight harder
It leaves a taste that knows no hunger
A chemical reason
For breaking up not fading under
Loud and undefeated
Know that you are needed
Can’t wait to meet you
We're gonna get along just fine
