Lyrics

Everybody's copin'
We're comfort-chasing creatures
Everybody's hopin'
To take a path that's easier
Afraid of disappointment, nervous and avoidant
Terrified to make mistakes
Paranoid and careful, trading our potential
Just to find a safer space
Legends aren't born in the sunshine
No one learns to swim from the shoreline
Gotta break down 'til ya break through
When it doesn't get better, that's when you do
Don't know who you are 'til it's wartime
Don't know how to live 'til you flatline
Gotta break down 'til ya break through
When it doesn't get better, that's when you do
Everybody's nervous
Addicted to their status quo
Scared to get discouraged
It's comfortable if things don't grow
Afraid of disappointment, nervous and avoidant
Killing who they could become
Paranoid and careful, selling all that's special
For another hit of numb
Legends aren't born in the sunshine
No one learns to swim from the shoreline
Gotta break down 'til ya break through
When it doesn't get better, that's when you do
Don't know who you are 'til it's wartime
Don't know how to live 'til you flatline
Gotta break down 'til ya break through
When it doesn't get better, that's when you do
Resistance makes life rewarding
Good times just make you more boring
Low tide won't write you a story
Keep running from rain if you don't wanna change
Blue skies sometimes are a warning
From mountains and climbs you're ignoring
Trials are made for transforming
Keep running from rain if you don't wanna change
Legends aren't born in the sunshine
No one learns to swim from the shoreline
Gotta break down 'til ya break through
When it doesn't get better, that's when you do
Don't know who you are 'til it's wartime
Don't know how to live 'til you flatline
Gotta break down 'til ya break through
When it doesn't get better, that's when you do
