Lyrics

Show Yourself

[Verse 1]

And I will skim my little sail

My friends all shivering on the rails

Show yourself

Show yourself

[Verse 2]

Floating ten feet off of the ground

Twelve millionaires coughing up clouds

Get them out

Show yourself

[Chorus]

Show yourself

Show yourself

Show yourself (come show yourself)

Show yourself (come show yourself)

[Verse 3]

Train across the island, spitting steam

Six stations of a snowy screen

Show yourself

Show yourself

[Verse 4]

Outside the fields of silver trash

The city trembles on its slab

Come on out

Show yourself

[Chorus]

Show yourself (come show yourself)

Show yourself (come show yourself)

Show yourself (come show yourself)

Show yourself (come show yourself)

[Verse 5]

I've had enough

I can see and almost know

That there is no one there to help you

There is no one there to hold you, let it go

[Verse 6]

I've felt enough

Can't really feel it anymore

And I know I'm closing off

As it gets colder, can I call out like before?

[Chorus]

Show yourself

Show yourself

Show yourself

Show yourself
