Circle

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Already found a way to crunch those numbers
I am the numbers guy
How do you figure you can calculate me now?
I guess I'm fortunate to be just a piece of the things you need
Always within yourself, always a voice of reason
I am outside the circle
I'm inside your head though planting the seeds of discord
Are you ready to go?
Are you ready to break through the ceiling?
I am so sensible
How do you figure you can convince me now?
Of all the things that I regret, I would not stifle you
I would just let you be yourself
When all the sirens sound inside
And all the piercing sounds appear to drown you out
I am outside the circle
I'm inside your head though planting the seeds of discord
I know I am capable stronger than my weaknesses
Go away persistent, go away I said
Can you hear me now? I am still around
I am outside the circle
I'm inside your head though planting the seeds of discord
I know I am capable stronger than my weaknesses
