Shutters To a Stop
The Rise of Science Lyrics

Courting, while waiting
Trying to woo someone while waiting for the right moment

Drifting along through this dance
Going through the motions without any clear direction

Accompany you in this revelry
Going along with someone's partying and celebration

Like it used to be
Hoping to relive past experiences

A humorist
Someone who uses humor to deal with life's problems

A forfeit under you like the closest friends
Giving in to someone like they're a close friend

Unfortunately won't remember them
Realizing that your actions won't matter in the end

Milking this temperament for all its worth
Taking advantage of your emotions for personal gain

While walking home
Reflecting on the recent events

You turned me off and you shut me down.
Feeling neglected and rejected

We can depend on each other
Finding comfort in a familiar relationship

Packs, pins, and arms, I was walking alone
Feeling empty and alone despite being surrounded by others

Eluding the end,
Avoiding facing the inevitable conclusion

Preferring the verdict too bleak
Choosing to believe the worst-case scenario

Discourage my intentions
Feeling discouraged and uncertain about your own goals

With the blur brisk of your feet
Feeling like everything is moving too fast

Paralyze and deafen my ears
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to process information

Shining and spinning, I've met my match.
Feeling like you've found someone who is on your level

Boast for each choice and I've followed that
Following someone else's lead without any independent thought

Paused, undisturbed.
Finding a moment of peace and quiet

Win her back with an accident
Hoping to reignite a relationship through unexpected circumstances

Tender yearning will turn her face
Believing that a soft, gentle approach will be effective

And remain beautiful.
Hoping that the beauty of the moment will last
