Hayley Williams
The Few That Remain
[Verse]
Come on and break down and show us who you are
Memorable first impressions only get you far
When you stay true from beginning to end
Flexing all your morals, your environment will bend back
As you bend crooked
Come on and break down fake personas from your art
I used to hang on every verse when my days would get hard
Flash forward to present day and time
A fraud, a hoax, a method actor reading scripted lines back
Why'd you take that path?
There's no way back
[Chorus]
We are the spark that once would ignite
A pilot light burning deep in your heart
The start of making yourself out
To be bigger than you really are
[Verse]
Conscience is calling, come and shut it up
Yeah I know life gets rough sometimes
And big dollars take the pressure off of hard times
But gluttony's a sin and hunger will not let you win
If you don't get a grip
Use some self will to control it, hold it
[Hayley Williams:]
"Wooah guys uhm, is it cool if I get in on this here?"
(Hell yeah!)
(Dude, go for it!)
[Hayley Williams:]
Alright listen!
(Ohhhh)
I see you ready, set, go
With unqualified pride, orders of your disguise explode
Watch us double up on those who try to intimidate unaware eyes
Fabrications of a buster living within a lie
If you come back you'll have to get (get, get, get, get)
Through all of us
[Chorus]
We are the spark that once would ignite a pilot
Light burning deep in your heart
The start of making yourself out to be bigger
Than you really are
You instilled, helped to build
A belief within me that I carry to this day
You passed the torch and cared no more
What a shame
Who's to blame when the mighty fall from grace?
[Outro]
Go settle up with the kids fed up
This time we want for you to man on up right
And account for all your crimes
Go settle up with the kids fed up
This time we want for you to man on up
Right now, I want you to say it
I wanna know why you abandoned this and now hate it
Just why?
But you don't know why
Such an elusive, guileful, meaningless sham
Come on and break down
Come on and break down
Come on and break down
Come on and break down
Break down
Break down
Come on and break down
Who's to blame?
Tell me who, who's to blame. Take the shame
Now when the mighty fall from grace?
