    LYRICS / LETRA:
    Free in the knowledge
    That one day this will end
    Free in the knowledge
    Everything is change
    And this is just a bad moment
    We are fumbling around
    We won’t get caught like that
    Soldiers on our backs
    We won’t get caught like that
    Face using fear
    Try to keep control
    But when we get together
    Well then, who knows
    And this is just a bad moment
    We are fumbling around
    We won’t get caught like that
    Soldiers on our backs
    We won’t get caught like that
    I talk to the face in the mirror
    But he can't get through
    I said it's time that you deliver
    'Cause we see through you
    I talk to the face in the mirror
    But he can't get through
    Turns out we’re in this together
    Both me and you

      What if he has grown beyond that? Not thinking what album you like says anything about how you are as a person? AMSP is my personal favorite album of theirs. But i don't take pride in that the same way you do. I have grown.

    I notice that this is the first time I'm seeing Thom look so relaxed on stage with his eyes open and gazing at the audience, as if looking like he's touching peoples hearts with his gaze rather than keeping his eyes closed and making it look like he's in a different place while still on stage. I don't think I've ever seen him like that before. It's a very nice new presentation for him to be so open on stage performing like this.
    Also he really looks like Keanu Reeves with the long hair and beard...and a botched eye lol!
