New me, something I could never be.
Because of this space,
this terrible place.
It all went through me.
Aurora:
Though we, get abused by the journey.
Forget all our names,
in this terrible game.
What I could be.
Aurora/Hudson:
How far would we be willing to go?
Just to show we're fine.
How long till we don't even know?
When we cross a line.
Why can't I step outside
and say what I mean.
When will take the dive,
finally coming clean.
Can I lose the game,
and save my name?
Rachel:
So everything’s solved completely now, right?
We’re over technology and now we’re going to
be open and honest about all of our emotions
with perfect communication?
Simon:
Reasons, it's the fault of the season.
If I find myself lost,
could I handle the cost?
Or will I stay gone?
Paxton:
Through me, getting hit by the journey.
But I won't be the same,
I'll rewrite my name.
What could I be?
Paxton/Simon:
How far would we be willing to go?
Just to show we're fine.
How long till we don't even know?
When we cross a line.
Hudson/Aurora/Paxton/Simon
Why can't I step outside
and say what I mean?
When will I take the dive?
Finally coming clean.
Can I lose the game and save my name?
When will I swallow pride
and take the loss?
What do I have to pay
to stomach the cost?
Will I comprise or can I rise?
I've tripped and I've bruised
but I will not lose.
I'm cut and I'm scared
but I am prepared.
I'm stuck in this land
but it's in my hands.
I'm done with the blame,
it's finally my game.
