Let's not bother looking back at summer nights in shining armour This is me still wishing hard for your departure This restless mind struggles to find thoughts I meant So stay with me I never thought you'd stay I hope he breaks your heart someday I'm sick of everything that's changed A waste of time - you wasted mine I'm wasted now for the millionth time Don't you start like "we've grown apart" That's not something that I can control Why do you look so scared? Your skin is electric And what did you have to say? I'm trying to forget this You can't live up to this image that's in my head Stop looking back - looking back to the past If you met your former self would it all be clear? You can't live up to this image that's in my head What can I feel? Can I feel you again? Just one last time before my mind let's go... (Looking back) (Who's that?) (Are you lost in your head or are you lost in the past?) Why do you look so scared? Your skin is electric And what did you have to say? I'm trying to forget this Drop the beat! Do your knees feel weak?! Listen as my tongue just speaks and speaks These words of passion like waves are crashing Underneath these bitter, broken teeth So yeah, your skin is made of porcelain? And my veins are made of clockwork parts Everything I've seen was altered By the influx of my heart Why do you look so scared? Your skin is electric And what did you have to say? I'm trying to forget this

If I gave all that I am and all that I should be (All that you could be) We would be infinite within machines built from sin (Stay calm and-) Don't interrupt me mid-train of thought Self-deprecation is all that I've got It takes integrity to change Left to my own devices again, my mind starts to wander These noises sound like thunder and who is that I hear? - I am your conscience and I'm alive... - Don't listen to him, he'll only tell you lies! - Will someone please just help me out? - I won't trick you- - But I feel sick too! - Don't argue! Help me make up my mind! - Alright fine, but I need time! - No, wait, 'cause that's a lie.. - No! Fuck you both! What's mine is mine! - (And no one even asked us) You're a mess, don't stress, it's for the best Do less, don't worry this is not a test Stay on top of misguided thoughts Which thoughts you ask? The ones you forgot You're asking me like what's my opinion? Well let me take control of all of your decisions WE COULD BE INFINITE Pity the man who let's numbers decide Important decisions and his path in life We will advance and develop as one If I move past the present what will we become? Be as you wish to seem An illusion of nature - not real, a dream I think therefore I am Mean what you say at least Delusions of grandeur? Give me a moment's peace And what was that about staying calm?! (You're missing the point...) I don't think I am Call it luck or call it chance This world is full of sycophants Suspicion always haunts the guiltiest of minds (Calm your anguish in the solace you will find) And what did I say? (What did you say?) About my train of thought? (Train of what? Have you forgot?) I'm running on empty (No, you're not...) Be as you wish to seem An illusion of nature - not real, a dream I think therefore I am Mean what you say at least Delusions of grandeur? Give me a moment's peace And what was that about staying calm?! If I gave all that I am and all that I should be (ALL THAT YOU COULD BE!) We would be infinite within machines built from sin (STAY CALM AND-) Don't interrupt me mid-train of thought Self-deprecation is all that I've got (HAVE YOU FORGOT?!) It takes integrity to change...

Looking back all the time Line after line and I don't mean the kind that you think Living your life in excess is the best - and I'm impressed I've been high since June apart from one week We did shots of tequila on the beach Swallow your pride, I died when I dived Line after line it's alright and I feel alive They say that Rome wasn't built in a day Don't believe a word that they say ('Cause they've never been to Rome in the first place...) You said this would be easy - it's never been that way And I can't be the only one who needs this escape I thought this would be easy - I've never been so wrong I'm struggling to find a reason why I don't belong (I decide what's right for me and my eternal state of mind) (I'll decide in time - I'll be the only one to get this right) Wake and bake with the brainwaves shaking All the shit I've taken - take me home! But I don't really wanna go Pack up one more bowl and let me chill with my bros Although, what happened to your clothes? I was looking for some blow but I didn't mean that though But don't move don't go, I always want more Join me on the floor if you can handle four Where's my conscience and where's my soul? (Fucked if I know! Just let the drink flow!) My only goal is to lose control As I'm looking back at all the time you stole These aching lungs are just made of coal I like fucking when I'm stoned There is nothing that can fill this hole No sex, no drugs, no rock and no roll They say that Rome wasn't built in a day Don't believe You said this would be easy - it's never been that way And I can't be the only one who needs this escape I thought this would be easy - I've never been so wrong I'm struggling to find a reason why I don't belong (I decide what's right for me and my eternal state of mind) (I'll decide in time - I'll be the only one to get this right) I once knew a girl with hair of gold who promised me that we'd grow old together but we never and I once had a friend who was clever but he went blind. I knew another girl who sold her soul and such selfish acts will just make you cold. I had another friends who betrayed us all and I don't know if I still care. I once knew a guy who was always there and now he's not but fair is fair and I knew another girl who was insecure but I can't be sure if she found a cure. I've got an ex best friend who'll drink himself to death and it's for best right? Because looking back to five years ago won't help you live your life. I control my fate and I know where it is (You can't save me, let's be honest) (We both know I don't want this) Together as one it didn't seem so bleak There was noise in my house and a party each week Ending up crashing out with nobody asleep There was reason to write and speak There was a park by the sea, there were rocks on the beach There was smoke in our lungs and the world at our feet And we drank and we fucked 'till we ran out of luck And now nothing I can do will ever let me travel back in time I CONTROL MY FATE AND I KNOW WHERE IT IS
