"Tyrants" lyrics

"Tyrants"

Jiminy Crickets whisper to me
Steering me away from it all
On Fortuna's wheel I'm running
Trying to evade the low side of the road
I had a dream that you came to me
Screaming and tearing me down
Stood on the hills above the city
The mist rolled and mirrored my doubt

So rail against the tyrants now
The ones who rattle in your head
Make something out of the rain
Raise up a glass to lament the dead
Love like you've never been hurt
You can't make them roll with you in the dirt
So rail against the tyrants now

I wasn't ever made for lying
But I've done my fair share of it all
I've let my ego almost kill me
I've swung hard and rolled on the floor
I wasn't trusting of the purest
Love that came patiently forth
These are the hardest lessons that I've ever had to learn

So rail against the tyrants now
The ones who rattle in your head
Make something out of the rain
Raise up a glass to lament the dead
Love like you've never been hurt
You can't make them roll with you in the dirt
So rail against the tyrants now

Rail against the tyrants now
So rail against the tyrants now
Oh, rail against the tyrants now
Rail against the tyrants now
Oh, rail against the tyrants now
Rail against the tyrants now
Rail against the tyrants now
