Modern World

I'm tired

I swear I'm not a hedonist at heart

We're not broken from the start

So why pretend?

I'm tired

I don't want a sedative again

Oh, there's things I'd tell my friends

We play pretend

I wish they knew

But no one knows

If you wanna keep a secret

Better keep it from yourself

Had a dream of Jesus

Oh, he's been in better health

Oh, he said, "Don't you tell anyone

You're scared to walk the line

Don't you tell anyone

You're scared to try again"

I tried

But you're as stubborn as a mule

Oh, I've tried to play the fool

And make you laugh

Oh, we don't cry

'Cause no one ever told us that we could

Now the water doesn't come

It's gone dry

I wish you knew

But no one knows

If you wanna keep a secret

Better keep it from yourself

I had dream of Jesus

Oh, he's been in better health

Oh, he said, "Don't you tell anyone

You're scared to walk the line

Don't you tell anyone

You're scared to try again"

The modern world

So focused on communication

So why do I have difficulty ever facing you

The truth?

If you wanna keep a secret

Better keep it from yourself

I had dream of Jesus

Oh, he's been in better health

Oh, he said, "Don't you tell anyone

You're scared to walk the line

Don't you tell anyone

You're scared to try again"

No, I'm not scared to try again

No, I'm not scared to try again

No, I'm not scared to try again
