Twenty-Five

[Verse 1]
Seasons folding
Into every passing lifetime
She was my Castrovalva;
All she did was live in my eyes
Lack of motion
Is the only way to survive
I never told her
I would rather love than be alive

[Verse 2]
That's my story
And you know I'm sticking to it
Don't try to tell me I should
Make it up, or just forget it

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Why does everybody
Have to be so goddamn lonely?
Why does everybody
Only listen to their own story?

[Chorus]
This is not love
This is persecution
Maybe I will
Find my own solution
Silence, feeling
Keep my wounds from healing
Everything I'vе ever been and
Everything I am today is calling mе

[Verse 3]
It's not over
Even if I want it to be
She was my supernova
I was just a piece of history

[PreChorus 2]
Why does everybody
Have to add insult to injury
Why does everybody
Have to die in a blaze of glory

[Chorus]
This is not love
This is persecution
Maybe I will
Find my own solution
Silence, feeling
Keep my wounds from healing
Everything I've ever been and
Everything I am today is calling me

[Bridge]
It's a sign
I was never told to compromise
But if I do
Then everything will be alright
It's a miracle
That I ever felt anything at all
It's a pain that only nature could recall
When the seasons fall

[Mid-Chorus]
This is my love
This is evolution
If I am the problem
Who is my solution?

[Chorus]
This is not love
This is persecution
Maybe I will
Find my own solution
Silence, feeling
Keep my wounds from healing
Everyone I've ever loved and
Everyone I've ever needed
Everything I've ever been and
Everything I am today is calling me
