Opportunity Knocking

Look, opportunity's knocking
But I'll tell it to come back another day
Besides, we've already talked and
I said what I wanted to say
A face sheds doubt at the crosswalk
Every afternoon when I'm headed back home
No matter if I wanted to talk
Cause I know I'd just end up alone
Glass shatters like little spider webs
Deep in the recesses of my mind
Told myself it'll be over
And it's all alright, cause it's not today
And still the past keeps me sober
Everything after that remains so gray
Glass shatters like little spider webs
Deep in the recesses of my mind
I know I'm thinking too much about this, but I can't get over it
I just need more time
Glass shatters like little spider webs
Deep in the recesses of my mind
I know I'm thinking too much about this, but I can't get over it
I just need more time
Look, opportunity's knocking
But I'll tell it to come back another day

0 Gravity

Springtime, here it comes again
At best it's just a friendship
Sleep upon a bench
Distract from all the love songs
Arbitrary rhymes leave mother earth resigned
A glance into brown eyes
The feelings don't subside
Feelings don't subside
Zero Gravity
Oh what a state to be in
A liability
Funny how much you meant to me
But now it's a distant dream
Summer rolls around in days
I tried but wasn't able to find out what to say
I thought that I would never repair the damage done
Not stop until I won
But I know that's beyond wrong and still it's just begun
It's only just begun
Zero Gravity
Oh what a state to be in
A liability
Funny how much you meant to me
But now it's a distant dream
I was so afraid of seeing you, too
But now I'm over it, now I'm over it
Thank god I'm fine with how this concludes
I got over it, I got over it

Birds

There's a bird outside my house and it's trying to tell me something
There's a cloud of smoke out there as I turn into nothing, oh
What I wouldn't give to have wings like that upon my back
I'd soar for miles and miles until I change my mind and turn around
I can't communicate the need that I'm faced with
It's strange but somehow always makes sense
When I write it in text and the next time I see you I want to dissolve that checks out
I've been spending far too long trying to analyze my psyche
And I've come to the conclusion you're all exactly like me, oh
I don't want to alarm you, but how else will I disarm you? (x8)
But how else will I disarm you?
There's a bird outside my house and it's trying to tell me something

Symbol

Must've been about three weeks ago now, saw a light brighter than day
I couldn't tell you what it meant to me now but that's not what I'm trying to say
Do you miss the times when you felt alright?
The more the know you the less you're alive
Well you're just a symbol now, that's all you'll ever be
Oh you're just a symbol now, is that all you want from me?
Yeah you're just a symbol now, a symbol for good
Do you ever wonder what would happen to you if you'd survived those shots?
Would you have made a documentary or shilled out on TED talks?
You were once a human, that's not so great
But now you're just fodder for a debate
Well you're just a symbol now, that's all you'll ever be
Oh you're just a symbol now, is that all you want from me?
Yeah you're just a symbol now, a symbol for good
Yeah you're just a symbol now
Oh you're just a symbol now
Yeah you're just a symbol now, a symbol for good

And When I Wake
05:11

I thought it was impossible then
I didn't even try to pretend
But now I've opened up my eyes
I spend all day looking through my disguises, I
And as the sky cradles the moon
My brain begins to hum a tune
It takes me back to when I was young
And I don't need to know where it's coming from
All the concerns are so very just
But all I needed is your trust
Could take a year or more than two
And when I wake I'll think of you
Your face is waning for a while
A standing breathless empty smile
Repeat the steps engraved inside my mind
Imagine when we ever had the time
All the faces fade away too fast
Is it too much for this to last
I'll say we're done and that it's through
But when I wake I'll think of you
Oh trepidation
Please let me through
I can't help making
It hard for you
I've convinced myself I've been in love
I've tried too hard, I'm not enough
My grayscale sheets, I'm born anew
If when I wake I think of
You construct yourself inside my head
I sometimes think I might be dead
Fragment words, a shallow sea
If when you wake do you think of me
