Dogmas lyrics

We build the walls, then we wonder why we're cold We read the books, we memorize the lines Searching for the logic in the stars and signs A manual for hearts, a script for every soul Trying to keep the chaos under our control First comes the silence, then the spoken vow We're so obsessed with why that we forget the how Protocol and promises, a heavy velvet chain Trying to find a formula to wash away the rain We follow every chapter, we obey every law But perfection is the biggest lie we ever saw Maybe love doesn't need your dogmas Forget the dramas, the scripts, and the commas We're chasing a ghost, a holy phantom in the night Losing the feeling while we're trying to be right Don't need a reason, a season, a lesson to be free I just need you happy, exactly who you wanna be It's not about the law or the flaw in the design It's just about your hand, your heart, and your life in mine You keep your distance to maintain the spark I play my part and never mention the dark We're living by the rules of people long since gone Waiting for a right time that's never gonna dawn But your smile is the only scripture I can read And your joy is the only gospel that I need Stop checking the clock, stop checking the gate Love isn't a debt, it isn't a state We're building a prison with shoulds and with musts Turning our gold into ashes and dust The doctrine is cold but your spirit is fire Let's burn the old rules on a funeral pyre If the soul is a bird, then the dogma's a cage It's time to move on and to flip the whole page Tear down the altar of what we should be Unlearn the lessons that won't set us free If your heart is light, then the world is right I don't need a doctrine to hold you tonight Maybe love doesn't need your dogmas Forget the dramas, the scripts, and the commas We're chasing a ghost, a holy phantom in the night Losing the feeling while we're trying to be right Don't need a reason, a season, a lesson to be free I just need you happy, exactly who you wanna be Maybe love doesn't need your dogmas Forget the dramas, the scripts, and the commas We're chasing a ghost, a holy phantom in the night Losing the feeling while we're trying to be right Don't need a reason, a season, a lesson to be free I just need you happy, exactly who you wanna be Happiness is the highest law No more dogmas Just you and I Just you and I
