[Verse 1]
I want to be fit
To take your breath and exhale a resolution
I want to be fit
To sing along with a pair of sunset lungs

[Pre-Chorus]
Where do you walk?
Where do I taste the wind behind you?
I lose my veil
In hopes that you will stare right through me

[Chorus]
I can hear you crying for that halo
That isn't even yours for you to lose
And you tell me that you're bound to your circle
Concentrical, concentrical

[Verse 2]
Toss me like a rope
And hopefully you'll have their approval
Inside your imitation that I loath
With the bad hands and the callow knees

[Pre-Chorus]
All suckers for the taste of illusion
For you to love and cradle
I lose my faith
In hopes that you will stare right through me

[Chorus]
I can hear you crying for that halo
That isn't even yours for you to lose
And you tell me that you're bound to your circle
Concentrical, concentrical

[Bridge]
My fate, my brother
Can you excuse my lack of company?
Can you excuse my lack of me?
My soul, my love for
Can you excuse my lack of company?
Can you excuse my lack of me?

I am a fool to have not known as the limping walk
But I'm not willing to blame, but I'm not willing to blame
I am a fool to have not known as the limping walk
But I'm not willing to blame, but I'm not willing to blame

[Chorus]
I can hear you crying for that halo
That isn't even yours for you to lose
Now you tell me that you're bound to your circle
Concentrical, concentrical

[Outro]
Kiss your son, now kiss your bible
Now plead Jesus through your notes
Kiss your son, kiss your bible
Now plead Jesus through your notes

Sonny Moore found club and mainstream stardom beginning in 2008, when he swapped his gig as post-hardcore frontman for From First to Last and created the dancefloor-oriented project, Skrillex. He initially used the name for live DJ sets, but in 2009 the project moved into the studio with Skrillex remixing the likes of Lady Gaga and Snoop Dogg.

Now he strives in mainstream success, playing monstrous live sets, releasing songs that rack up millions of listens and producing for the likes of Justin Bieber, A$AP Rocky, Ty Dolla Sign, and Ellie Goulding, and formed the duo Jack U with equally successful producer Thomas “Diplo” Pentz.
