Your Favorite Monster - Blink Lyrics

I read up every page
And burnt up all of my books
I was anxious
Scared of how I thought and looked

But I want to be known
I want to be remembered
That's the difference
That's my only real concern

My color's gone, but it will return again
The feeling's lost, no need to self-defend
Don't blink you'll miss everything

What's the rush man
Where's your sense of wasting time?
It's a bad joke
You can hate it if you like

It reminds us both
That we will never be our parents
And I miss her too
But you can't still go on like this

Your color's gone, but it will return again
The feelings lost, that need to self-defend
Don't blink you'll miss everything

Fill your head with false alarms
You'll always be jumping the gun
I seem desperate reaching out
For something to pull me back down

(I'm always frustrated
My face buried in your chest
I have been so jaded
Living for progress
Silently reset)
Our color's gone, but it will return again
The feelings lost, that need to self-defend
Don't blink you'll miss everything
