"We're Not In Orbit Yet…" lyrics

"We're Not In Orbit Yet…"

Love takes a turn
Born on the tide
One lover standing in the cold
Part of a whole
Losing control
End of a coast the other knows
Colors divide
We're taking sides
All of the lies we were ever told

We will sacrifice to touch the sky
Then burned it bright as day
With the match we light the dark of night
To wash it all away
Gonna make new tracks as we turn our backs on the stars
Warning us, "Stay where you are"

Nothing to learn
Pages to burn
There's no real world for you to know
So shut your mouth
You're heading south
How many heads are gonna roll?

We will sacrifice to touch the sky
Then burned it bright as day
With the match we light the dark of night
To wash it all away
Gonna make new tracks as we turn our backs on the stars
Warning us, "Stay where you are"

It's the wrong time to decelerate
We're not in orbit yet
With the feeling you deserve your fate
And everything you get
