The Twin Paradox - Disyllabic

If you’re going to take, take a moment for yourself. That’s alright.
If you want to spend, spend your days in wonder of the beauty of the night.
If you’re going to lose, lose yourself in her or him, whoever they may be.
And if you have to leave, leave your mark upon the world. Make a memory.

And if ever you feel like jumping, you should jump for joy for the fact you can feel.
And if ever you long for something. let it be no longer for things that aren’t real.

This is the only life you get. You can live it if you want to.
This is the only life you get. How is that not your mantra?

If you’re going to cry, cry out loud into the dark, and be a light.
If you want to rage, rage against the cold machine inside your mind.
If you’re going to break, break these chains that hold you down. Set yourself free.
And if you have to go, go for broke and take your chance. Let whatever be. 

And if ever you feel like falling, you should fall in love; it’s a wonderful ache.
And if ever you learn from something, let it be from what comes of the choice you now make. 

This is the only life you get. You can live it if you want to.
This is the only life you get. How is that not your mantra?

This Is The Only Life You Get - The Twin Paradox (Mantra Mix)

I dream, and sometimes I don’t want to wake up, ‘cause I’m in love with everything in my head.
And in the mornings I am sad to see them go. I’d rather stay in bed instead.

Give me five more minutes of this peaceful sleep. It will make the alarm sound like music to my ears.
Just five more minutes in a world I can control gets me through the years.

‘Cause I dream, and each time it’s just amazing. I’m in love with the things that I see.
And every evening I just marvel at my mind, even the things that frighten me.

I need five more minutes of this wonderful sleep. It will make the alarm sound like music to my ears.
Just five more minutes in a world of my design gets me through the years.

It’s my nightly escape. It takes me far away. And I’m in so deep I could lie here forever. 
And I know I’m caught up, but I don’t ask for that much, just a little more - I will feel a lot better.

I feel so much better.

And I dream, but most times I don’t remember. I can only tell you how it made me smile.
And I love the little flashes of it later that take me back to where I was for a while.

Give me five more minutes of this beautiful sleep. It will make the alarm sound like music to my ears.
Just five more minutes in a world that’s all my own gets me through the years.


Five More Minutes - The Twin Paradox (AsleepWithMyHeadphonesOn Mix)

I see a burning wind
And it’s kicking up the dust that settled on my skin
Beyond the cloud and smoke is where I find 
Something to remind

All my fingers are trembling 
And if the conversation lags, then I can always sing 
I can feel the sun inside me start to shine
But it never feels like it’s mine

Then in an instant it came to me
A thousand countless moments of missing memories
It took eternity for me to come around 
Oh, I bet my soul is in the lost and found

Can anybody tell me my name? 
I never had a mind to believe it would never be the same. 
I’m falling into something I cannot explain. 
Can anybody tell me my name?
