The price of warmth is friction
At least that's what i tell myself every time
Ever pick up a Rubik's cube and think 'fuck that'? Now imagine that's your brain
Now imagine that's your brain, but I don't mean to whinge
'cause I know your pain is worse than mine
Yellow, red, orange, green, white, blue: there's something inside
There's something within me, there's something inside
I dare not go reaching, for what I will find
A cowardly being, sprawled on the floor
A talent who's peaking, but needs to do more
Unwelcome company inside my head
I search for recovery but I'm misled
How can I be one who's doing you proud
When I'm the only one who's letting you down
How can I be one who's doing you proud
I've let you down
I've let you down
I've let you down
Down down
I hope I don't remember
All I hate about the way I really am
Your role is inimitable within our little fictional mess
But unpredictably, perhaps a little cynically, yes
You stole my heart and it's a pretty brittle miracle, bless
I think I've broke apart more times than I could possibly guess
And I know that you're the one for me
But I'm scared I'm not the one for you
Yellow, red, orange, green, white, blue: there's something inside
There's something within me, there's something inside
I dare not go reaching, for what I will find
A cowardly being, sprawled on the floor
A talent who's peaking, but needs to do more
Unwelcome company inside my head
I search for recovery but I'm misled
How can I be one who's doing you proud
When I'm the only one who's letting you down
How can I be one who's doing you proud
I've let you down
I've let you down
I've let you down
down down
All I am is just a memory
So I'll write this down, I hope you're proud of me
All I am is just a memory
So I'll write this down, I hope you're proud of me
There's something within me, there's something inside
There's something within me, there's something inside
There's something within me, there's something inside
I dare not go reaching, for what I will find
A cowardly being, sprawled on the floor
A talent who's peaking, but needs to do more
Unwelcome company inside my head
I search for recovery but I'm misled
How can I be one who's doing you proud
When I'm the only one who's letting you down
How can I be one who's doing you proud
I've let you down
I've let you down
I've let you down
down down
