I never thought I'd feel at such a standstill
I kind of miss when we were heading downhill
it makes some sense but I just never guessed
my voice is playing in my head now
we never really get along
he's always pointing out what's wrong as if I didn't know
as if I didn't know
we break down at the first sight of day
it doesn't have to feel, it doesn't have to feel so strange
so slowly taking over my body's run down
I'm an old soul at heart
and I can't hear a thing when the siren's pass and I go deaf
let's make this silence last
forever when I recalibrate, when I recalibrate
who's right, who's wrong, does it matter in the end?
when I recalibrate, when I recalibrate
I never thought I'd find you on the other side
we always spoke like we were running out of time
I guess it seems that's all we ever really had together
we took our tests at the same time
neither tried and neither of us passed
we met disappointed looks as if we couldn't tell as if we couldn't tell
we break down at the first sight of day
it doesn't have to feel, it doesn't have to feel so strange
so slowly taking over
my body's run down
I'm an old soul at heart
and I can't hear a thing when the siren's pass and I go deaf
let's make this silence last
forever
when I recalibrate, when I recalibrate
who's right, who's wrong, does it matter in the end?
when I recalibrate, when I recalibrate
I know it's right 'cause I'm spending too much time
working like a lawyer to convince myself it's fine
I'll never feel it when I'm absolved of all my sins by the self appointed king of guilty men
