Find a New Way - Tune-Yards

My dreams aren’t about the future

You tried to tell me that I had a right to sing

Just like a bird has to fly

And I wanted to believe him cause he seemed like

A really nice guy

Oh, but I trip on the truth when I walk that wire

When you wear a mask, always sound like a liar

I tried to tell him all the reasons that I had to never sing again

And he replied «You better find a new way»

Find a new way

Find a new way

Find it today

Find a new way

Don’t need to look too hard, yeah

Somehow we find a new fine way

And now they say

«He come, he come, he come»

And your sleep is a frame of

He comes, shake 'em, tell’em

«Be unafraid»

And now they say

«Here come, here come, here come»

You and me, never free

Attached by bands

Are cutting off the blood to our hands

You and me are never free

You pull and I bend and I am ready for the end

Cause I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried

It’s a dangerous ride

I’m never free

I bend 'til I break

And every bone is in stake

She tried to tell me that I had a right to scream

Just like a bird had to sing

And I believed her, but in truth

If you’re convincing, I’ll believe anything

I only speak when I’m feeling sad and lonely

But what I speak doesn’t have to do with being sad and lonely

Little white lies

Erode my sight

When I look into his eyes so

Find a new way

Find a new way

Find a new way

Find it today

Find a new way

Don’t need to look too hard, yeah

Somehow we find a new fine way

A sippy cup to keep a cap on all the screaming of songs

What happens when the drink is gone?

Nothing, stuffing down a stifled little yell

Desperation now, numb me at night

I pray to learn to pretend so I can sleep tight

But something doesn’t feel right

When I see you changing

It makes me think that I could change too

Oh, change-o strange-o

'Nother rearrange-o

Oh, change-o strange-o

'Nother rearrange-o

When I see you changing

I believe that I could change too

Oh, change-o strange-o

'Nother rearrange-o

Oh, change-o strange-o

'Nother rearrange-o

Oh, change-o strange-o

'Nother rearrange-o

Oh, change-o (change-o change-o change-o…)

And now they say

«He come, he come, he come»

And your sleep is afraid

But we comes, shake come, tell' em

«Be unafraid» (Ha!)

And now they say

«He come, he come»

(Find a new way)

And now they say

(Find a new way)

«He come, he come, he come»

(Find a new way, find a new way)

But we come she come, tell' em

«Be unafraid»

(Find a new way)

And now they say

«He come, he come»
