lyrics

You’ve got a lot to learn
So just stick around
They’ll show you the way
To get that rock rolling
And as long as you try
I’m sure they’ll all love you
So don’t carry that sigh
Just give them your best

Maybe it’s not quite as nice as you thought it would be
And underneath the gold you can feel the cracks

Find your reason to put up a fight
And carve that name into the back of your head
30 odds years ain't got nothing to shine
This mountain will move I won’t settle for less

After the cameras off
you can see the smile
Fade away again
as the haunt resumes
And the voice in her head
Is all bitter and angry
Yearning for a dream
That slipped between her fingers

And deep inside her bones there’s a ghost and a pain
No one else to blame is it time to face up?

Find your reason and put up a fight
And carve that name into the back of your head
30 odds years ain't got nothing to shine
This mountain will move I won’t settle for less

No better time than the present to fly
To hell with your rules im gonna make you move

Find your reason and put up a fight
And carve that name into the back of your head
Burden me down I’ll still come back from this
This mountain will move I won’t settle for less

and in the end you'll find, the other voice mattered
was the one in your head so give them your best
