lyrics

The cold cuts like a knife edge
And you were never the right age for your face
How did it get so late?
The past has lost its race to memory
Invite-only pity party
You are your only heartache, sad weak flame
Dead soul: must amputate
So you can start again, start again

If there’s hope in a black hole
There’s even hope for your soul
A mirror can be a miracle if you look beyond the skull

But you’ve been dialling the number wrong
You’ve been hiding in your own home
You’ve been telling yourself lies
You’ve been living in disguise
You’ve been smiling when you fall
You’ve been driving with a blindfold on
You’ve been selling yourself lies
You’ve been living in disguise all this time.

You still fight with your shadow
And shudder when the wind blows loved lost names
Your heart’s a stuck pinball
You’re a teardrop trying not to fall.

If there’s hope in a black hole
There’s even hope for your soul
A mirror can be a miracle if you look beyond the skull

But you’ve been spiralling like a somersault
You’ve been gliding like a juggernaut
You’ve been telling yourself lies
You’ve been living in disguise
You’ve been waving white flags when you war
You’ve been drowing with water wings on
You’ve been selling yourself lies
You’ve been living in disguise all this time.

You’ve been tellling yourself lies
You’ve been living in disguise all this time.
