Lyrics Foster The People - A Beginner's Guide To Destroying The Moon

I can't blame you...
I can't save you
But I will try
For you and I...
For you and I
I won't find out
All the dirty little things that you've done
But I will try
I...
I...

I'm coming for you giants and you liars
And your chariots of fire
Your charmers with your anecdotes
Have started to show your true colors

Now I'm staring at the Moon
Wondering why the bottom fell out
I've been searching for answers
And there's questions I've found
Open your eyes, and share this burden somehow
Are you ready to drink,
Or are you waiting to drown.

I would break you
Before I let you,
Fall into a blind.
For you and I
For you and I.
I will breathe in
All the truth i can stomach
If it keeps you alive

We changed the dreamers and the preachers
And the wise men on the hill
To concrete stepping smilers
Terrified to lose their power and control

Ahhh.... Ahhh... (2x)

We've been crying for a leader
To speak like they are prophets
The blood of the forgotten
Wasn't spilled without a purpose.
Or was it?

Ahhh.... Ahhh... (2x)

Now I'm staring at the Moon
Wondering why the bottom fell out
I've been searching for answers
And there's questions I've found
Open your eyes, and share this burden somehow
Are you ready to drink,
Or are you waiting to drown.

You'll never be whole
You'll never be whole...
Until you lose control
And think freely
To smash the wall of apathy
Stop your self-importance
And lift the weight off somebody else

You'll never be whole
You'll never be whole...
Until you lose control.
And stop drinking the wine
That's been dripping from lips
Of the gluttons
And envying their bloody teeth

You'll never be whole
You'll never be whole
Until you lose control...
