[Verse 1]

This is not the song

I wanted to write for you

This is not the way

I wanted to make you feel

The truth is so unkind

I can't stop the way that it sounds in your mind

It's loud and it's distorted

The longer you avoid it

[Chorus]

Too much to settle

So I hide in my golden cage

Silence is starving

Humble pie on a paper plate

Going in circles

And my pride is the piece I hold

I will never settle

Cause to settle would crush our souls

[Post-Chorus]

Too much to settle

Silence is starving

I will never settle

I will never settle

Going in circles

Silence is starving

I will never settle

I will never settle

[Verse 2]

Caught a glimpse of a normal life

Terrified by the sight

We belong to another time

Dropping vanishing names we knew

But if they don't care about it

Do you still care about it?

[Pre-Chorus]

Too much to settle

Silence is starving

I will never settle

I will never settle

[Chorus]

(Too much to settle)

So I hide in my golden cage

(Silence is starving)

Humble pie on a paper plate

(Going in circles)

And my pride is the piece I hold

(I will never settle)

Cause to settle would crush our souls

To settle would crush our souls

[Outro]

We will never settle

It would crush our souls, oh, oh

We will never settle

It would crush our souls, oh, oh

(We will never settle)

(t would crush our souls, oh, oh)

(We will never settle)

(It would crush our souls, oh, oh)
