Twenty One Pilots - Center Mass Lyrics

 Twenty One Pilots - Center Mass Lyrics

A little softer than I used to be,

Used to mouth off often with artillery,

Now it is cough drops and soft spots in a middle seat,

Chivalry,

A tighter space than I used to know,

Spread out wide no more, pinch my shoulders close,

Hoping they misplace my reservation,

 

I thought you had it figured out,

I know, I know,

You said you made it to the top,

I lied, I lied,

So tell us how did you make out alright?

 

I pull on my shirtsleeve to cover half of my hands,

Bring my arms closer to my body, get as small as I can,

They call it center mass, that part they aim for,

Shrink it down to nothing,

And forgetting what the pain’s for.

I pull on my shirtsleeve to cover half of my face,

Bring my arms closer to my body,

Get as small as they say,

They call it center mass,

That part they aim for.

 

Right this way if you’re frustrated,

Your first mate in the fifth grade,

Tried to persuade,

Try it once, he was shown on the bus,

Chain’s off my Huff,

Anxious enough as it is,

Gotta walk,

Never looking up once at the kids in the park,

What a day, getting dark, what a day.

 

Found out what I’m worth, I run to you,

I hope you understand this run-on-sentence,

Tattoos only hurt when meaning fades,

I think my skin got worse with good intentions,

I don’t want to say what happened,

I just want to let it go,

Nothing was the same right after,

I went to the funeral,

I miss you so, so much,

Take what you want,

Take what you want from me,

Took you for granted
