This is the hope that you hold back

When you need to get it on track

And you're feeling for the feedback

Until you're reeling from the relapse

You get loaded til you just ignore

Every feeling that you had before

But you're believing that there's something more

Play along

Pretend that we could be the ones who break the mold

We'll stay so strong

All their violence can't defeat our beating hearts

And when they're gone

You and me will completely re-write these laws

We'll change them all

Let's change it all

Play along, play along

You hit a low when you rolled that

Leaving Martin with your old man

To the ravine until it goes black

Now you're dreaming with your cold hands

We're gonna hold you til you come back home

Maybe this beat will move your sleeping bones

You'll be the reason that we keep on going

We keep on going on and...

Play along

Pretend that we could be the ones who break the mold

We'll stay so strong

All their violence can't defeat our beating hearts

And when they're gone

You and me will completely re-write these laws

We'll change them all

Let's change it all

Play along, play along

Floating away with our hearts and our eyes closed

Floating away with our eyes and our minds turning off

Floating away with our hearts and our eyes closed

But heavy enough just to crash through this cycle with love

Play along

Pretend that we could be the ones who break the mold

We'll stay so strong

All their violence can't defeat our beating hearts

And when they're gone

You and me will completely re-write these laws

We'll change them all

Let's change it all

Play along, play along

Play along, play along

Play along, play along
