To Be Brave

You pinch your cheeks

Bring back the colour

Some winters can make a world of difference

But you belong here

Wed to a timezone

Of draughty hearts, of stoic arts and crafts

You try to be brave, make it go away

Leave the lights on sometimes all night

And carry on regardless

So you won't get swallowed up by the darkness

Try to be brave, don't give the game away

You're a strong one, just carry on and

No one needs to notice this

Only silence holding this

Always prepared to make excuses

To go along, to nod in firm agreement

But there's no rest on shaky ground

And we are guilty looking down

Just careless creatures trying to save face, so you

Try to be brave, make it go away

Leave the lights on sometimes all night

And carry on regardless

So you won't get swallowed up by the darkness

Try to be brave, don't give the game away

You're a strong one, just carry on and

No one needs to notice that there's

Only silence holding this

Try to be brave, make it go away

Leave the lights on sometimes all night

And carry on regardless

So you won't get swallowed up by the darkness

Try to be brave, don't give the game away

You're a strong one, just carry on and

No one needs to notice that there's

Only silence holding this

These are the screenshots, these are the moments we lived

To keep on smiling, to keep on smiling through it

When you've got nothing, when you've got nothing to give

Turn up the filter, don't admit it

These are the screenshots, this is the vision we lived

To keep on smiling, to keep on smiling through it

When you've got nothing, when you've got nothing to give

Turn up the filter, don't admit it
