Wallflower – Magnifier lyrics

There's a fear of growing older, there's a fear of what I've done
Fear of all the things I told her when I feared what I'd become

Breathe out and go slow; sun-soaked mind with a magnifier
Caught the smoke, we ignored the fire

No career and never wiser
No career; master of none
A life nobody chose despite the rules you set when you were young

Shouldn't ever have a thought about; the things you love, the things you've done
Couldn't ever clear your mind of all the things you lost, they came undone

With all the time you thought you had
You hooked the bait, you set the trap

Breathe out and go slow; sun-soaked mind with a magnifier
Caught the smoke, we ignored the fire
Burn down your whole home; stop the words flowing through the wire, woah
And throw away your telephone, throw away your telephone

Another year your blood runs colder
Still unclear where it went wrong
With the chip that's on your shoulder, keep on singing along to the same old song

With all the time you thought you had

Breathe out and go slow; sun-soaked mind with a magnifier Caught the smoke, we ignored the fire
Burn down your whole home; stop the words flowing through the wire, woah
And throw away your telephone, throw away your telephone

We're staring down a loaded gun, but it's the fact that we won't run staring back at me, staring back at me

Shouldn't ever have a thought about; the things you love, the things you've done
Couldn't ever clear your mind of all the things you lost, they came undone
Would you ever have a thought about the ones you love; the things they've done?
Could you ever clear your mind of all the ways you are your father's son?

Breathe out and go slow; sun-soaked mind with a magnifier Caught the smoke, we ignored the fire
Burn down your whole home; stop the words flowing through the wire, woah
And throw away your telephone, throw away your telephone
