Authentic Intelligence - Young Hamlet lyrics

[Break 1: Pentatonix] A light in the room It was you who was standing there Tried it was true As your glance met my stare But your heart drifted off [Excerpt from Kenneth Bragnaugh's Hamlet:] To be or not to be... [Break 2: Pentatonix] Like the land split by sea I tried to go, to follow To kneel down at your feet [Excerpt from Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet:] To die... [Break 3: Pentatonix] I'll run... [Verse: A.I.] To live, to die To end the struggles in one swift but hesitant emotion One pill, one jump, one bullet, one rope away From all my troubles, all my pain The pain of disappointing, disappointment It hurts to know that you give your all to someone But it never seems to be enough Enough of their expectations Staring at the pavement from such high elevation (P: I've been settling scores...) Tired of people dumping their unwanted emotions on me And not considering the consequences (P: For so long...) And the very second I need them the most They're nowhere to be found (P: Our kingdom is gone...) What is it that we truly fear? The fear of d**h? d**h is nothing more than an extensive sleepless sleep Where pain is numb And harmful things have come to an end (P: I've got broken bones and tattered clothes...) But in that sleep we call d**h Long after our bodies hold us to this earth Will we dream? (P: I'll run...) And if so, what will we dream? Will we dream of peaceful things at last? Or will we dream of torments worse than we could ever imagine? [Excerpt from Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet:] Puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose the name of action
