What's the Matter

Preserve your energy
And hope for tomorrow
For second chances
And perfect circles

And it isn't the same thing
As a living work of art
It hurts to fake smile
Takes time to fall apart

I can't stress, you're not alone
And we get frightened of the unknown
And places no one wants to go
When everything is fine

What's the matter 'round here?
What's the matter with fear?
What's the lay of the land?
What don't I understand?

What's the matter 'round here?
What's the matter with tears?
What's the matter in hand?
What don't I understand?

It would be sweet
To be completely astounded and taken aback
What if love could hit the targets that we can't see?

What's the matter with that?
What's the matter with us?
What's the matter with me?
Tell 'em

What's the matter 'round here?
What's the matter with fear?
What's the lay of the land?
What don't I understand?

What's the matter 'round here?
What's the matter with tears?
What's the matter in hand?
What don't I understand?
