Lyrics

0:06I found nothing in a back room
0:13Change the shape of the world
0:16For long enough
0:19Got the boat till as far as I could
0:27Before it could take me
0:39It was far enough
0:41Mature you said at the wrong time
0:45Broke my aging skin cause age was mine
0:51Had a field day
0:54Smelt like roses
0:58Harvesting my thoughts cos up much time
1:04When you grasped the question
1:08Did you miss the meaning
1:11When you met your challenge
1:13Did you go out fighting
1:18We will discover
1:25Ripeness twice over
1:44Sing your song
1:51Worth its weight in God gold
2:04Curse its fate
2:10When you grasped the question
2:14Did you miss the meaning
2:16When you met your challenge
2:20Did you go out fighting
2:23How will we recover
2:30Ripeness when its over
2:49I lost something in a big room
2:55Change the shape of the world
2:59For long enough
3:01When you grasped the question
3:04Did you miss the meaning
3:08When you met your challenge
3:11Did you go out fighting
3:14When you climbed on top
3:18Did you fall on shadows
3:21And clammerring off
3:24Did you fall on rainbows
3:30How will we recover
3:36Ripeness when its over
3:42How will we recover
3:49Ripeness when its over
3:52(I have )
3:55(are you the fuel for the fire)
3:58(and I over)
3:59(none of us have to inspire)
4:04(I've discovered my niche here/nietzche )
4:07I've discovered my niche here/nietzche
4:14(when should or something)
4:29(do tell me)
4:32(do you tell me what's the difference )
4:35Do tell me
4:37What's the difference
I found nothing in a back room
Change the shape of the world
For long enough
Got the boat till as far as I could
Before it could take me
It was far enough
Mature you said at the wrong time
Broke my aging skin cause age was mine
Had a field day
Smelt like roses
Harvesting my thoughts cos up much time
When you grasped the question
Did you miss the meaning
When you met your challenge
Did you go out fighting
We will discover
Ripeness twice over
Sing your song
Worth its weight in God gold
Curse its fate
When you grasped the question
Did you miss the meaning
When you met your challenge
Did you go out fighting
How will we recover
Ripeness when its over
I lost something in a big room
Change the shape of the world
For long enough
When you grasped the question
Did you miss the meaning
When you met your challenge
Did you go out fighting
When you climbed on top
Did you fall on shadows
And clammerring off
Did you fall on rainbows
How will we recover
Ripeness when its over
How will we recover
Ripeness when its over
(I have     )
(are you the fuel for the fire)
(and I    over)
(none of us have     to inspire)
(I've discovered my niche here/nietzche )
I've discovered my niche here/nietzche
(when should    or something)
(do tell me)
(do you tell me  what's the difference )
Do tell me
What's the difference
