Testo Toxic mask Cold War Kids

Toxic mask

I was an average kid
From an average place
It wasn't easy to wipe away the disappointed look upon my face
Are we repeating the past?
Don't wanna be chosen last
It's like we were supposed to be exposed to evils, wear a toxic mask

I'm stepping into the light
I'm stepping into the light
We keep moving 'cause we both know what's on the other side

I wanna scream it to everyone that ever loved
The innocent that won't speak up
You never seem to get enough
You're right up to the edge
I wanna tell ya that time goes on, you'll rise above
You'll realize this broken world
Will not be what it should till you
Surrender in the end

So they set us adrift
Knowing we're anchorless
If you're lucky you'll find a kindred spirit, someone who can steer the wind
Or else you'll fall through the cracks
Like a panic attack
We became the very wolves that raised us
We must not betray the pack

I'm stepping into the light
Stepping into the light
I'm stepping into the light
Stepping into the light
They keep saying if we stay strong we won't be left behind
I'm stepping into the light
Stepping into the light
I'm stepping into the light
Stepping into the light
We keep moving 'cause we both know what's on the other side

I wanna scream it to everyone that ever loved
The innocent that won't speak up
You never seem to get enough
You're right up to the edge
I wanna tell ya that time goes on, you'll rise above
You'll realize this broken world
Will not be what it should till you
Surrender in the end

Stepping into the light
Keep saying if we stay strong we won't be left behind
I'm stepping into the light
I'm stepping into the light
We both know, yeah, we both know what's on the other side

Will you pretend, will you surrender?
Will you pretend, will you surrender?
Will you pretend, will you surrender?
Will you surrender in the end?
Will you pretend, will you surrender?
Will you pretend, will you surrender?
Will you pretend, will you surrender?
Will you surrender in the end?
