Best Years

People keep saying

That all things will pass

The less I believe it

The longer it lasts

Cause I feel like I'm missing

A piece that I need

In your image

Maybe I could be something

Can you feel its presence?

Just tell me something

Something I wanna hear

Lean in towards me

Whisper in my ear

Say you're losing your patience

Your desire to stay here

In this backward city

Taking all of your best years

Can you feel its presence?

Breaks your circuit

That's whеn she told me

It's something in my brain

A mеchanism

Makes me say the wrong thing

And I know it's a symptom

That I can't control

The source is elusive

And I ain't got no soul

Can you feel its presence?

Breaks your circuit

Breaks your circuit

Thoughts are circling

You know it's a danger

To stand close to me

They're killing dissenters

For thinking critically

And now, it's so simple

Your presence compels

My desire

To be anywhere else
