Prefontaine - Old Soul Syndrome Lyrics

I'm a simple visionary idealist
With a lot of temporary desire for success
Seems to always be a curiosity as to why
These intentions couldn't possibly be anymore solidified
Focused on and wandered off in search of sight
Maybe I'm not good enough for this kind of bright light
Sun radiates on my skin cause I still yearn
Instead of reaching for passions I'll know what it means to burn

Self-reflection mixed with alcohol (I almost caught you)
I saved myself by avoiding the fall (I almost caught you believing in me)
Misdirection's make for fond farewells (I almost caught you)
Should we say we threw away the dreams ourselves? (I almost caught you believing in me)

Old buildings and worn brick walls, young people inside
Caffeine that caps our youth, what more could we hide
Jealousy strikes the closest hearts, but I'm not the type
Someone else got the forbidden fruit, what's it supposed to taste like

Question my everything, mistrust in decency
I used to call you my friend, I think I'm trying my best
And is anybody worried at all, I don't think so
That their dreams might be nothing at all, I won't believe no
Gave up my devotion, the notion was stolen from me
Gave up in believing, achieving is nothing

Self-reflection mixed with alcohol (I almost caught you)
I saved myself by avoiding the fall (I almost caught you believing in me)
Misdirection's make for fond farewells (I almost caught you)
Should we say we threw away the dreams ourselves? (I almost caught you believing in me)
I guess we're full on the illusions we sold, I guess we're full on the illusions we sold
I guess we're full on the illusions we sold, I guess we're full on the illusions we sold to ourselves

Take one look, did we miss our chance
Safe and sound in my mind
These beliefs won't make it to light

Self-reflection mixed with alcohol (I almost caught you)
I saved myself by avoiding the fall (I almost caught you believing in me)
Misdirection's make for fond farewells (I almost caught you)
Should we say we threw away the dreams ourselves? (I almost caught you believing in me)
I guess we're full on the illusions we sold, I guess we're full on the illusions we sold
I guess we're full on the illusions we sold, I guess we're full on the illusions we sold to ourselves
