I thought, "The flowers, save the flowers..." I never thought for a second we wouldn't save the people

I am living today as someone I had not yet become yesterday and tonight I will borrow only pieces of who I am today to carry with me to tomorrow.

What Gods do you believe in? I'll build you a temple of mirrors so you can see them.

Right now there’s a man on the street outside my door with outstretched hands full of heartbeats no one can hear. He has cheeks like torn sheet music every tear-broken crescendo falling on deaf ears. At his side there’s a boy with eyes like an anthem no one stands up for.

I thought, "The flowers, save the flowers..." I never thought for a second we wouldn't save the people

Someday we will dare to trade good for true

I know a thousand things louder than a soldier's gun; I know the heartbeat of his mother.
