Despite Lyrics by Michael Cera Palin

We Could Be Brave

2025

[Intro]
\nTight lips to loose ends
\nSo the cycle goes
\nRetribution's useless
\nStill can't help but count what I'm owed
\n
\nThe threat's a misperception
\nTo restore safety and sense
\nI'm clearing the air now
\nWhich fogs the form of my conscience
\n
\n[Verse]
\nUse it or loser
\nMy poor, aching pen
\nThe letters I'm writing
\nMore stationary than sent
\n
\nForbidden translations
\nCasting Rosetta stones
\nDisplaced my impatience
\nWhere grace should be owеd
\n
\nSeems I have trouble discarding
\nMyself-rеlegation
\nGranted, it's a process
\nGranted, what isn't?
\n
\nI know that it's one foot
\nBefore the next
\nA lesson from my descent
\n
\n[Pre-Chorus]
\nAlthough I've shaken the rust
\nMight I derail again?
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nDespite unraveling, I'm so tightly wound
\nDespite the spiral, I just couldn't come around
\nDespite the ends, I can't tell what it means
\nIn spite of this, why are we so certain where our ends will meet?
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nRetrace my outline past this distorted reflection
\nAren't I a big laughing riot for all my hysterics?
\nTry to unlearn this reflex, I'm more than a knee-jerk
\nGet back to breathing, not just taking a breather
\n
\n[Interlude]
\nExamine the new gaps
\nCan't recall what filled their place
\nSeems when you chip at me, I flake
\n
\nTime capsules, hard to swallow
\nSuch joyful noise shouldn't ring so hollow
\n
\nIf I should trust what I see
\nAnd no one's truly lost anything
\nI'll let trust be why I trust again
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nDespite unraveling. I'm so tightly wound
\nDespite the spiral, just couldn't come around
\nDespite the ends, couldn't tell you what it means
\nIn spite of this, why are we so certain where our ends will meet?
\n
\n[Outro]
\nIs it something in the water?
\nMust be something in the water\n\n
