Sufjan Stevens, Angelo De Augustine - Fictional California lyrics

Now, Whittier arrived in fictional California
We're gonna bring it on again
Bring it on to you hard
Our school spirit was defined
By dance and drama
The lord above will be my guide
The light into my heart

Open the light to the darkness
Open your heart, let it all hang out
Open your life to the hardness
Open your mind 'til it all falls out
Let it all fall out

Now that I have survived
The spectacle of my youth
I'm gonna bring it on again
Bring it on with my truth
My foolish spirit was denied
By a romance diorama
I put my passion in my pride
My beloved was finally refused

Open the light to the darkness
Open your heart, let it all hang out
Open your life to the hardness
Open your mind 'til it all falls out
Let it all fall out

I'm all alone at the megaphone
I'm all psyched up as I make
My mark in total darkness
I look alive but I feel so dead inside
I'm bleeding
Gonna break a leg with the basket toss
For the loss of my broken dreams

Now, Whittier arrived in fictional California
We're gonna bring it on again
Bring it on to you hard
