Lyrics "BY DESIGN":

I watch the sun rise up and scatter all second thoughts and discontent. But why does everything that matters feel shallow?

I promised I’d grow somewhat taller into something else, all by design. But why does everything that matters feel calloused?

All I wanted to be I sorted out deliberately. Now I keep crawling back inside my little shell and what’s behind me is all that I desire.

Recall my talk when I was younger. I had the greatest plans of all. But why does everything that matters feel so loose?

I can’t decide what’s worse and better (be)cause I glorify all I can’t have. But why does everything that matters feel so used?

All I used to believe I sorted out so painstakingly. Now I keep crawling back inside my little shell and what’s behind me is all that I desire.

I watch the sun collapse and shatter All trouble that’s been building up. But why does everything that matters feel so assured?
