Catalyst Lyrics
Oceansize
I woke with a start today, determinations __
Filled with expectation
__ owed to go out
But I am so fearful of the future
Ignorant of the present
Im wary of the past
Through the door
I shuffle him quietly down the hall
Identical corridors and artificial lights
The man in the box, born to set my world to right
Effortless to ignite, screaming in my head
*screams*
With hope the catalyst will blow my joy away
But you thought that Id have so much more to say
Cant save me now (x2)
But I am so fearful of the future
Ignorant of the present, Im wary of the past
When I awoke to a blue sky with a haze of red
True I __
Pissin, suck up to the man
No wonder Im tired when I awoke with a start today
