[Verse 1]
In a psuedo-randomized world, some things don't seem like they add up
And when the pieces don't fit when you stack up
It's hard to take a step back and let your mind catch up
When I think that I've had enough when the going gets tough
When it's hard to the take I know it's time that I man up
Weak in the knees when I'm tryin' to step up
Gotta figure out the way the world is set up
Spendin' all my time tryin' to find the secrets
The ones that'll set me free
Gimme all the things that'll make me see all the way to my eternity
[Refrain]
Spendin' all my time tryin' to find the secrets, keep my mind in the unknown
But it's cold and it's dark, and it feels alone...
[Chorus]
The words you say to me they don't mean anything
Describing all the places that we'll never see
Some are quick to say that I'm wasting energy
In the search for all the secrets to my everything
[Verse 2]
You see, other people play this game, day to day using the old strategies
Believing there's no other way to the end
Thinkin' that they have something to teach me
Even though I'm lookin' like I don't know what I'm doin'
Searchin' all the places they've already seen
Bombin' at the walls like a Metroid fiend
Lookin' for the things that may lie in between
I don't give a... Even if I lose all my lives in vain pursuit
I'ma feel better that the game's complete
And I didn't break down and take an easy route
[Refrain]
Spendin' all my time tryin' to find the secrets, keep my mind in the unknown
But it's cold and it's dark, and it feels alone...
[Chorus]
The words you say to me they don't mean anything
Describing all the places that we'll never see
Some are quick to say that I'm wasting energy
In the search for all the secrets to my everything
[Verse 3]
There are people out there who say that ignorance is key
Telling you the guidebook is all that you need
But you gotta take a second look and see
That the more that you know, the less it seems like it fits
I don't ever claim to have the answer, but I know this isn't it
Everyone starts at stage one and can take a bunch of interlocking paths
To the end of the game, is it all the same? Sometimes you gotta ask
The questions that hurt the most, that feel the most real
When your game is over, will your secrets be revealed?
[Outro]
The words you say to me they don't mean anything
Describing all the places that we'll never see...
Yeah!
Yeah!
Ye-yeah!
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
Show me that there's something else
I want you to change me
Want you to change me
I want you to change me
Want you to change me
