lyrics

1) The Best at First Impressions:
Soldier on, young burnout
Fight the power
You've arrive at the eleventh hour
Caught up in your mix-up
Of the truth
No one can perceive time such as you

Get away before
It's too late

You're the best at first impressions
When we meet, you keep me guessing
Time with you is always draining
I'll never see you changing

Live a life so free
Transcendentally
Breaking every bond
Still thinking beyond

Sedentary burnout
Fade away
When is the last time you made my day
For all of our sakes
Could you mature
How are you such a caricature

Overblown in your
Undertones

I can't imagine
When we'll meet again
Who am I to judge
I can hold a grudge

2) Interlude

3) Twins Peaking:
I used to think
That there was something redeeming
I used to think
That there was some hope for you
Now I know
That those feelings had no meaning
Now I know
That your aim was never true

Something is climbing
No reason rhyming

Locked into a boundless cycle
This time my decisions final
Feel the break of two twins peaking
Spite in a manner of speaking

I used to think
That defending you was useful
I used to think
That you deserved all my help
Now I know
That your treatment's just abuseful
Now I know
That you can't defend yourself

Losing our attention
Changing your dimension

You went and lost your mind
Now you're acting unkind
