Cause you don’t do much anymore / Sun Glasses on your mind and it seems you’re fine / Yeah it seems you’re fine cause you won’t do much anymore / painted windows on your eyes and it seems you’re fine / Yeah, it seems you’re fine and it feels so closed behind / stained roses in your eyes and it seems you’re fine / Yeah it seems you’re fine and it feels so close behind / stained roses in your eyes and it seems you’re fine / and it seems you’re fine

My Minds Made Up / Connected all the dots / My Minds Made Up I’ve Got the Lot / Got my favorite thought / My Minds Made Up My mind is free / it’s always exiting / My mind is free Can’t hear a thing / I’m never listening / My Mind is free It never strafes / from similarity / My mind is safe No push or shove / Don’t want no remedy / my mind is safe can’t get enough / I love the Vacancy / my mind is safe My minds made up / I’ve got my favorite thought / My Minds made up I’ve got the lot / Connected all the dots / My minds made up

I thought you weighed it out couldn’t concentrate, sat and hesitated I thought you weighed it out I know it’s not the same, you gotta break away Don’t want to push you down I’ll take all the weight, it’s not complicated don’t want to press you out all my friends would say, it’s not complicated Just trying to figure it out couldn’t concentrate, explanations faded Just trying to figure it out It’s not all the same, situation’s changing Just trying to figure it out Looking for a space, where I can stay in place Just trying to figure it out a couple steps away, make sure it’s all okay Just trying to figure it out before you raise the stakes, and take it all away

Totally 02:33
It’s a solitary time to be so weary in your being You cut the possibilities and honestly, it seems to me to be wearing down your dreams in a world we cannot see you were reaching out, emotionally but it’s motionless for us in a world we cannot touch you were reaching out, dependently but it’s pending at the trust it was pretending to give up and honestly, it seems to me to be wearing down so much in a world we cannot trust you were reaching out, totally but we only get to know a replication of the whole I’ve never felt so much alone and increasingly, it seems to me to be adding to the toll in a world that cannot grow you were reaching out, desperately but it’s only adding up in a world we cannot trust that is empty without us that is empty without us

Children Behave That’s what they say when we’re together and watch how you play but they don’t understand so we’re running Just as fast as we can holding on to one another’s hand trying to get away into the night / and then you throw your arms around me as we tumble to the ground / and then you say I think we’re alone now There doesn’t seems to be anyone around I think we’re alone now the beating of our hearts is the only sound Look at the way We gotta hide what we’re doing cause what would they say if they ever found out
