We Could Be Brave Lyrics by Michael Cera Palin

We Could Be Brave

2025

[MOVEMENT I]
\nShould we confine ourselves
\nTo confidants' intervals?
\nSo bent about our shelters
\nBlinds to open windows
\nWould it all be cut losses
\nAnd squandered farewells?
\nWe could be brave and see how it ends
\n
\nOh, the ways I've forgotten how to stop
\nFlinching, inching
\nDistance me from earshot
\nExhausted, my options
\nTake what time l've got
\n
\nBreakthrough at half past 5 in the morning
\nDon't feel much better, better than nothing
\n
\n[MOVEMENT II]
\nIt's moving at a glacier's pace
\nI need a higher dosage
\nEach catalyst more cataclysmic
\nCrashing in slow motion
\nStill not quite sure how I
\nNever seem to catch it comin'
\n
\nMisusing all my languid strength
\nFor all this shit I'm hauling
\nI know these things by name
\nI often wish they'd just stop calling
\nJust to justify my Sisyphean crawling
\n
\nI'm losing all my saving grace
\nBut saving face I'd take
\nOr some way to savor
\nMy never-ending ache
\n
\nIt's moving with an anxious gait
\nI need a higher dosage
\nDon't say it's more than I can take
\nSome pressures never let
\nAs much to overcome as left to comprehend
\n
\n[MOVEMENT III]
\nClose enough to grab it
\n"I don't wanna know"
\nScattershot habits
\nRicochet in echoes
\nWe deal in distance, in hypotheticals
\nThe shoulds, coulds, and woulds
\n
\nI know these depths so well
\nCarved in the image of their maker
\nDespite how it might feel
\nLike the presence of another
\n
\nIf you mirror me, hate your reflection too, I'd hardly blame you
\nIf you mirror me, hate your reflection too, I'd hardly blame you
\n
\nOh, the ways I've forgotten how to stop
\n(We could be brave, we should be safe here)
\nLunging at my own tail, flesh for me to gnaw
\n(We could be brave, and just wait to see how it ends)
\nIf this breaks, then it's a wound that I can gauze
\n(We could be brave, we could wait out the end of days)
\n
\n[MOVEMENT IV]
\nNot numbered, but bulletpointed!
\nAnd some days that's all I think about!
\nMy ache is forever
\nMy ink's running out
\n
\nThis ache is forever
\nAt least tonite's just for now
\nThis week's just for now
\nThis month's just for now
\nCould this ache be much longer?
\nWhere the fuck's my way out?
\n
\n'Cause God knows I've tried to go outside
\nAt least once or twice this month
\n
\nLooked down, in and out
\nStill came up at loss for answers
\nWe could be brave
\nTry to set our eyes back forward
\n
\n[MOVEMENT V]
\nBut perhaps I hesitate
\nBecause I'd rather stay
\nFuck better than nothing
\nFor 5 a.m. there's nothing better
\n
\nWash your face, brush your teeth
\nMake your bed, take your vitals
\n
\nAll you can do is sit in that skin to see how it ends
\n(just like the rest of us)
\nPotential was squandered, no energy wasted if you see to the end
\n(just like the rest of us)
\n
\nShould you feel beside yourself
\nYou're still right by the rest of us
\nWe could be brave, we should be safe here
\n
\nWould it be so far off-course to live because you will it?
\nCouldn't be a lesser force than the spirit that permits it
\n
\nWe could be brave, we should be safe here
\nWe could be brave, if we just wait to see how it ends
\nWe could be brave, we should be safe here
\nWe could be brave, if we just wait to see how it ends
\nWe could be brave, we should be safe here
\nWe could be brave, if we just wait to see how it ends
\nWe could be brave, we should be safe here
\nWe could be brave
\nWe could be brave\n\n
