The Ship of Theseus by This Glass Embrace Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometime last month
I started growing out my hair
And I know John won't believe it
But I've been working on a beard
I hope this isn't just a change for the sake of change
I’d like to think that I'm improving
But maybe I'm just playing games
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A fresh coat of paint
To disguise that I'm the same
We're all making progress
Or at least that's what we've taught ourselves to claim
[Chorus]
Tell me tomorrow will be better than today
If you have to lie, then lie
I just need to hear you say it
Tell me everything we love will always stay
That what we've made will never die
Say anything; I swear I will believe it
[Verse 2]
I used to have so many reasons not to go
But every single one has vanished
And I guess I didn’t follow
It feels like light leaked through the cracks around the bulb
The brightness drained away like water
And left the fixture dead and dull
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So what is left, when joy has faded to routine?
How many boards can you replace
Before the house you built is no longer the same?
[Chorus]
Tell me tomorrow will be better than today
If you have to lie, then lie
I just need to hear you say it
Tell me everything we love will always stay
That what we've made will never die
Say anything; I swear I will believe it
[Bridge]
I need you here, whatever else may come to pass
If you left, it might not kill me
But I would never be alive again
[Chorus]
Tell me tomorrow will be better than today
If you have to lie, then lie
I just need to hear you say it
Tell me everything we love will always stay
That what we've made will never die
Say anything; I swear I will believe it
Sometime last month
I started growing out my hair
And I know John won't believe it
But I've been working on a beard
I hope this isn't just a change for the sake of change
I’d like to think that I'm improving
But maybe I'm just playing games
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A fresh coat of paint
To disguise that I'm the same
We're all making progress
Or at least that's what we've taught ourselves to claim
[Chorus]
Tell me tomorrow will be better than today
If you have to lie, then lie
I just need to hear you say it
Tell me everything we love will always stay
That what we've made will never die
Say anything; I swear I will believe it
[Verse 2]
I used to have so many reasons not to go
But every single one has vanished
And I guess I didn’t follow
It feels like light leaked through the cracks around the bulb
The brightness drained away like water
And left the fixture dead and dull
[Pre-Chorus 2]

[Chorus]
Tell me tomorrow will be better than today

I just need to hear you say it
Tell me everything we love will always stay

But I would never be alive again

Tell me everything we love will always stay
That what we've made will never die
Say anything; I swear I will believe it
