Virtue - Late Night Alumni

Say it like you mean it

Say it like it’s always been

Something you believe in

Story you’ll tell again

Never mind where my feet never step

Beds in which I’ve never slept

Of all the little cuts and bits I’ve kept

You reject my intellect

I’m not gonna black and white it

Calling you to watch me fight it

Never mind what’s behind it

Wood and candlelight it

As I raise my hand to strike it

Shake my hand and like it

I’m not gonna black and white it

Calling you to watch me fight it

Never mind what’s behind it

Wood and candlelight it

As I raise my hand to strike it

Shake my hand and like it

Shake my hand and like it

Shake my hand and like it

And I land the words right

Something someone else had said

Marching to the edge I’m

Wearing someone else’s head

What’s mine is mine, what’s yours is also mine

Told you so a thousand times

Of all the little here-and-theres I find

This one I could claim as mine

This one I could claim as mine

I’m not gonna black and white it

Calling you to watch me fight it

Never mind what’s behind it

Wood and candlelight it

As I raise my hand to strike it

Shake my hand and like it

I’m not gonna black and white it

Calling you to watch me fight it

Never mind what’s behind it

Wood and candlelight it

As I raise my hand to strike it

Shake my hand and like it

(I'm not gonna black and white it)

(I'm not gonna black and white it)

(As I raise my hand to strike it)

Shake my hand and like it

Shake my hand and like it
