The Loneliness Inside Me Is a Place by Empire! Empire! (I was A Lonely Estate) Lyrics

Will all my twenties find me so guarded?
Lettered and documented by meticulous word choice and closed lips
To read like:

All things bear this-
A purpose! or romance!

But the truth is much more complicated than that

And i am still trying to learn how time is a gift

(as much as it is a burden)
