lyrics

I'm on top of the world
But I've lost my identity
Serenity please keep mending these seams split open
pull the rope in to null the void
dull the voices in my head that keep telling me I'm better of dead
I've been fed lies
the truth tastes much bitter
only way to become a winner is to lose
I refuse to wither away rushed by days
either give in or take it there is no mistaking
I am way out of my league
no doubt I have achieved so I shout my belief
as I reach for the clouds then retreat
at that height the lights are too bright to adjust
reality bites on the hand it feeds
we reach and leap back attracted to disaster
masses harassed to follow after
go ahead ask me
I only have questions few answers
rest assured I will keep dancing

Vice Versa
Who's to blame when you don't even know my name


I'm as low as rock bottom but I'm honored
the slower things go
the more I've got a grasp and its masterful
no control but my glass is half full
so I smash it and fashion myself some new gold
like water into wine for the blind eye to witness
reminded why there is such a difference
from the top to the bottom in an instant
dropped like an atom bomb in the distance
its oddly satisfying
the longer I linger through trials and tribulations
the longer I tinker with my own expectations
erase my objections
replace them with lessons
in the face of a nation so restless
I get this funny feeling I'm revealing too much
but I've been blessed
with the presence of true beauty and love
Trust unity and you'll be in luck
we usually run
But you and me are soon to be one

Vice Versa
Who's to blame when you don't even know my name


When gravity falls ill be glad to be gone in the dawn
all I needed was to don a cape and escape
we take are anatomy for granted
It’s practically standard
I’ll be candid so you can actually get it
I've hit my limit again and again
but I just won’t give in
put myself in the position of someone who isn't given a chance
a symptom of the land
let’s hand a symphony the plans
can sympathy heal
a simple yes or no would be nice
It’s been vice versa all of my life
despite the encouragement
in high tide I might be worrisome
since my earliest memories seem further from reach
the timeline has shifted
Become inconsistent
visualize the breach to speak to each his own
repeat the known
comb through the lone roots to ease the soul
be unique unknown
we are all unique unknown


Vice Versa
Who's to blame when you don't even know my name
