Greater than Me

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

Wrong with You
04:26
|
|
||
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

The Riverbank
04:06
|
|

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?

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

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

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?

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?
