break<br \/>\nFaces pass like d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu<br \/>\nSame old words, just slightly new<br \/>\nEvery choice I think is mine<br \/>\nEnds up back in perfect time<\/p>\n<p>[Pre-Chorus]<br \/>\nThe

and present blur<br \/>\nNothing is what I prefer<\/p>\n<p>[Pre-Chorus]<br \/>\nI reach for something I can\u2019t name<br \/>\nAnd end up in the same old frame<br \/>\nOnce more!<br \/>\n(Around the
