You Matter 03:37
I've been waiting for your voice to get me out of this town And I've been walking, walking backwards, not knowing what it's about... Yeah! But you're a goddess, illuminating my senses a million times now Just take a look at the bigger white board in the castle of hell... She said! Takin' a look at how far you've come, how far we've come, how far we've gone Take a look at how far we've come, how far...how far we've come! You should always know I will always love you Even if you follow Follow all those hollow Well I will love you anyway And I will know you anyway And I will love you anyway But you weren't right and I wasn't wrong when we said this is what it's about I've got to do something, something new to change my world around... And it feels like it's all closing in and I'll never know what it means to fend For livin' a life that's a means to an end, I just know I need to leave it all to mend... Takin' a look at how far you've come, how far we've come, how far we've gone Take a look at how far we've come, how far...how far we've come! No matter what's gone, know I've been all in No matter what's gone, know I've been all in No matter what's gone, know I've been all in And when we sing it I want you to hear it loud! I want you to hear it loud I want you to hear it loud I want you to hear it loud I want you to hear it loud! You should always know, I will always love you... You should always know, I will always love you You should always know, I will always love you You should always know, I will always love you Even if you follow Follow all those hollow Well I will love you anyway And I will know you anyway And I will love you anyway! No matter where you are, no matter where you go No matter where you are, no matter where you go No matter where you are, no matter where you go No matter where you are, no matter where you go No matter where you are, no matter where you go No matter where you are, no matter where you go No matter where you are, no matter where you go No matter where you are, I will always love you...

What if I told you that if you listened to me I could help set you free? Not with just a dream or something magical, But something that actually qualifies with your psyche… As long as you promise to take us to the top then I promise bombs won’t drop, (NO!) But if you have doubts then loosen your intentions ‘cause surely these things won’t pop… And I won’t fall no I won’t fall, Even when things seem to stop! Every time you thought you knew, aren’t ya glad ya did something new? (Aren't ya glad?) And every time you toughed it out, aren’t ya glad to show us something new, (A particular kind of spectacle) And all these thoughts you thought you had do they recognize your own truth? (Do they recognize?!) Every time you feel a test, is it comin’ from me or you? Everything comes from me or you now, huh?! So let’s take it one step back, Break the country club’s back for doin’ things that they wouldn’t stop, (NOOOO!) Like tellin’ people they mattered more for a money tree that they couldn’t they couldn’t crop, (Yeah, YEAH!!) Are ya sick of all this shit can you too not believe it, well maybe that’s why these systems flop! Because if you believe it then that’s how it’s all perceived and, That’s why it feels like it’s all gonna drop… It’s all gonna drop right now… If I set you free, Would you listen to me, Have we been listening at all? ‘Cause all the things we see, They happen to you and me, ‘Cause of what is done by you and me… Oh I never knew the scariest part of you not being alive is that they tried to tell me that you were gone. And I said, "No, sir. I ain't gonna sing that song or do that dance. It's my life. I'm gonna live it the way I wanna live it. Not in your trance, but mine." When someone tries to tell you how to live your life, you say, "NO! No, I'm just fine!" Every time you thought you knew, aren’t ya glad ya did something new? (Aren't ya glad?) And every time you toughed it out, aren’t ya glad to show us something new, (A particular kind of spectacle) And all these thoughts you thought you had do they recognize your own truth? Every time you feel a test, is it comin’ from me or you? Is it coming from me or you?

It’s just unnatural so we keep it this way yeah, We tell the kids how to live each day, uhhuh But it’s things like this, That make it all amiss, We all want happiness, We just want happiness, Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeahyeahyeah (x4) It’s just unnatural so we do it this way, Don’t let life dwindle each day by day, ‘Cause things like this, They make the mind all amiss, It makes us miss out on life’s little twists, uhhuh! You say you know what this is, I said I’ve had enough of this, That’s what I want… That’s what I want… You say you know what this is, I said I’ve had enough of this, That’s what I want, That’s what I want… It’s just the process that we put into play, yeah! We get a rise out of playing these little games, And I know you’re sick, You’re sick of all of this, How can you concentrate when your mind is such a mess? And all the king’s horses, And all the king’s men, They couldn’t put the beat back together again, They said it’s all wrong man, Your playing is flawed, Your timing is off, It’s all wrong man, You’re all wrong… You say you know what this is, I said I’ve had enough of this, That’s what I want… That’s what I want… You say you know what this is, I said I’ve had enough of this, That’s what I want, That’s what I want… It’s just the natural so we do it this way yeah, We throw a party to save the day, And we dance and laugh, It’s stuff like that, We all want happiness, We just want happiness… You say you know what this is, I said I’ve had enough of this, That’s what I want… That’s what I want… You say you know what this is, I said I’ve had enough of this, That’s what I want, That’s what I want…

Is it something that was said? Well maybe we’re scared… Of consequence and truth that hurts our ears, Sometimes in life we must tell the truth, Even if we sit afraid in our liars booth. So please don’t build me up, just show me something, I want to know the truth in feeling, Well maybe that’s not fair and you say that’s how life is, But I don’t agree with your silly affair… It’s no contest to me nor a game that I play, It’s an experience I feel, a spirit I free, But please don’t build me up, just show me something, I want to know the truth in feeling, Build me up, Just show me something, I want to know… The truth in feeling… The things that we do when we’re scared of the truth that we know, The things that you do when you’re scared of the truth that you know, The things that I do when I’m scared of the truth that I know…
