There’s a lot that you need to process It’s why you’re staring at your phone Every time that you feel like a mess You just sit at home alone And say: I really need a break from all my twenty-something ways Because I haven’t done a single thing in twenty-something days It’s like I’m always moving at a twenty-something pace I’m tired of looking at my stupid twenty-something face Give me something better then Give me something better than Something better than twenty I need something greater then I need something greater than I need something greater than me It’s a slow, slow world I’m moving way too fast I want so much more But I could do with less You are always too tired or too bored To go out and have some fun So you ingest all the stress that you’ve stored And think of things you could’ve done And say: I really need a break from all my twenty-something ways Because I haven’t done a single thing in twenty-something days It’s like I’m always moving at a twenty-something pace I’m tired of looking at my stupid twenty-something face Give me something better then Give me something better than Something better than twenty I need something greater then I need something greater than I need something greater than me But I don’t want to be scared anymore All this time, you’ve been sitting here While your life is passing by And the years you’ve been spending here They’re the best years of your life

In Circles 02:38
Children always walk in circles I am trying to walk a line To understand just what the world is Waiting for some kind of sign I decided I would borrow Gave away the things I had Leave tomorrow for tomorrow Think about today instead But I kept the things they gave me And I thought of them as mine Children always walk in circles I am trying to walk a line

I talk a lot and close my ears So I don’t know if someone’s here Someone hearing what I said I crave attention like a kid Like you probably never did I get good while feeling bad What if I was not so hard to be around? If I could sit around without making a sound? And I want to know what you are thinking about me As long as it’s not what I think it’s bound to be: What’s wrong with you? There’s always something wrong with you Wrong with you There’s always something wrong with you An easy day, an easy week The easy lifestyle that I seek Are things I’m never gonna get An easy word, an easy song The kind that isn’t way too long The kind that you will not forget What if I was not so hard to be around? If I could sit around without making a sound? And I want to know what you are thinking about me As long as it’s not what I think it’s bound to be: What’s wrong with you? There’s always something wrong with you Wrong with you There’s always something wrong with you

I think I’m going crazy There’s nothing I can do The things just don’t amaze me In the way that they used to My head is silent inside And I am drawing blanks It used to be a riptide But now I’ve hit the riverbank It’s not a twenties crisis And I don’t feel ashamed It’s just a fact in my eyes That everything is not the same You think I’m going places But can I just go back It was so great the way it Was before I got on track In a big, big world Can I just be smaller? Can I be a child For a little while? In a big, big world Can the change be over? Can I simply smile For a little while?

Blinded 03:36
Things have fallen silent Panic's in the air I know how to recognize When a person's in despair Things have become violent People stop and stare I know how to save a life But I don't really care I don't really care Everyone deserves a chance (easy for you to say) No-one's life is in your hands (you'd hate to take my place) Everybody makes mistakes (this one I'd love to make) Based on human kindness I should really help If I were him I'd hope I'd think Of more than just myself But I was wholly blinded By anger that I felt I left him to his destiny And then I ran like hell Then I ran like hell Everyone deserves a chance (easy for you to say) No-one's life is in your hands (you'd hate to take my place) Everybody makes mistakes (this one I'd love to make)

Is this the best way To put our thoughts to rest? Are you still mad at me And just pretending not to be? Do you go over the memories The ones we held so dear? Or the ones we used to fear? I'd may not matter much now We're on a different track I tell myself to hush now Looking back Looking back to you It's not the worst way But it may not be the best Are you still sad for me Or do you think you ought to be? Are you making new memories Ones to hold so dear? Or ones that I may fear? I'd may not matter much now We're on a different track I tell myself to hush now Looking back Looking back to you

In Mirrors 04:08
I have lost the case This is not my place This is not the case I'm a little sad It's a dream I've had It's a little sad When we're going I want to stay When we're feeling right at home I'll run away It's the same thing Everyday And I don't know why I always Act this way I'm not staying here I am filled with fear I am staying here I don't like my fate I don't want to wait I don't want my fate When we're going I want to stay When we're feeling right at home I'll run away It's the same thing Everyday And I don't know why I always Act this way

Convey 04:59
I'm searching for the words That rhyme Convey what I need to say The way That I am always waiting for the time That's slipping from my hands To stay I guess I'm telling you somehow Someway That I don't want a thing to change today It's hard to find out what I feel And how I'm gonna talk this through To you If I don't even know what it's about Nothing that I say Is true A song may be what I need A tune 'cause Singing's always easier to do

Swampman 02:18
Here he comes An empty shell Without thoughts He's doing well Swampman isn't thinking He just walks around And if this ship is sinking Won't we hit the ground? See him go In childish bliss He doesn't know What he is Swampman isn't thinking He just walks around And if this ship is sinking Won't we hit the ground?

In Shadows 04:44
When you talk, I shout I need to let it out We're like puppets on a string When I talk, you yell You know me far too well I just say the same two things Do you know Why we even talk When it's the same thing everytime now For way too many times now? Do you know Can we even stop When we're so used to getting hurt now And saying nasty words now? I know you are right Everytime we fight But I don't know how to lose I should clear my head And stop being this mad But somehow I just refuse Do you know Why we even talk When it's the same thing everytime now For way too many times now? Do you know Can we even stop When we're so used to getting hurt now And saying nasty words now?
