    Lyrics:
    I traveled through the atmosphere
    As a wall of feedback climbed
    The pegs were gold, the band was old
    They played in half time
    Now every dream gets whittled down
    Just like every fool gets wise
    'Cause you will never read of any seed
    Deprived of sunlight
    So I've become the middleman
    The gray areas are mine
    The in-between, the absentee
    is a beautiful disguise
    So I keep my footlights shining bright
    Just like I keep my exits wide
    'Cause I never know when it's time to go
    It's too crowded now inside
    The dead can hide beneath the ground
    And the birds can always fly
    But the rest of us do what we must
    In constant compromise
    So I've become the middleman
    The gray areas are fine
    The "I don't know," the "maybe so"
    Is the only real
    It is the only true
    Is the only real reply

    this is really cool. I amn't sure what it is about 100%, but a lot of the lines are relateable, and I love the instrumentation

    Love you Connor, change your set list already and start playing from the companions. You haven't changed it sense last year I wanted to see you in Texas again but didn't :(

    It's true that Connor played Chrono Cross, and it's inspired this song?

    It bothers that the lyrics are wrong. It's youll never REAP of any seed, not read...
