put brush to canvas with a pirouette, a simple motion makes the consequence intricate / all the little nothings and my parapet, i hope it's something that you don't forget
i just aim for whatever i can, and someday maybe something will go as i planned, but nothing that i try seems to fly, i rely on some fleeting sleight of hand
so go ahead and act so sweet, i'll grin and bear the pain through my teeth / and when the pen and paper meet, oh, i'll know the truth, i mean nothing to you
i wish that i could fall a little bit harder / i wish that i could fall, like it would even matter / i wish that i could fall right into your life, but i'm not there at all, on the other side
i've been constant, at your beck and call, but lately i just can't do anything at all / i used to pride myself on my discretion; a sensible devotion, loyal and attentive
(baby, do you know what it's like to die? to see the sparkle fade from inside your eye?) / i can't remember what it's like to feel autonomy, can't even feel it in the moments that you left to me
do you hear me? all through the sand and glass; though you're not quite there, i know this love can last
βand get excited for a moment, but like a candle underwater, it puts a bullet through the showman / but i'm giving it back tomorrow, and they can keep it at their bedside, i'll paint a pattern on the window, and watch them try to hit the broadside
i was praying for forever that i'd never be alone, count my blessings on the daily βcause i let my fears be known / now i'm falling down forever, deep in love i will remain, and my life will never ever be the same (i won't complain!)
i couldn't handle being alone without you by my side / but i trust that things will be okay
i look across the distance, the bits and bytes between us / looking at the time it'd take to drop everything and head that way
yep, that's right, let your dreams take flight, watch the line go up, line go up, up up up up upβ
until it breaks right through, blows a hole through you, you can fill it up, fill it up, f- f- fill it up
hey, cut the shit, we both know that the woe of a doe is carved by flint (a hunger for retribution)
pulled away by the distance between us, / from a single mistake / and although i've tried to get closer, / it all still keeps me awake (come closer!)
oh, keep it together, i can't keep it together, why'd we have to go and proclaim forever? oh, keep it together, i can't keep it together, i don't even know how to mean "forever"

[they love you]
i think i'm in love!
i'll find the point where the two paths meet, and i'll rectify what i left behind / some counterfeited concomitant; i dance delightful, it feels so right
so in the midnight haze, we watch the hours turn to days / when sunlight falls and dark descends, together, meet our bitter end
you can kick us down but we will never die!
you think that you've got it all, but you don't know the half of it / you're a lizard sat atop a rock, and you don't even know the size of it
talk'll only get you so far, walk the walk and you could be my star / silence silent? i don't really think so! plenty you can hear if you give a little room to show (let the bass go!)
we wake to lights that blind, memories all left behind / but we've no room to play pretend, we know the story in the end
don't you think you're better than that? go ahead, put the headstone back, a little fire get you back on track (is it disaster? maybe!)
(baby, do you know what you wanna hear? 'cause you can say the word, make it oh so clear) / we're all just searching for a sense of solidarity, to hold each other close and confiscate our destiny
i kinda wish i had excuses here to say, but they all ditched me in this island and they're drifting far away / now my eyes are getting heavy and my consciousness is thin, but because i'm fucking stubborn, then my head's not giving in
it's roaring at my back, the pain of everything i lack / but i don't think it's true, i'll trust that you can love me too
we'll be nothing in the end, a form that no one comprehends / but i am real and you're real and we're something real again
i say hello to you again, my old and newest friend / like autumn, winter, into spring (my heart will make amends)
you can kick me down but i will never die!
