lyrics

Our camouflage stains the dawn,
makes all the kaleidoscopes blush.

But in disguise, we feel sometimes
the emptiness is not enough.

But take another look around
if all you see
tightropes across
your eyelashes.

After all is said and done,
embrace me…

Will we have time left to survive
before the light ever reaches us?

Take another look around
if all you see
tightropes across
your eyelashes.

After all is said and done,
erase me…

Save me from all of your trust in me.
If nothing ever comes
of changing our minds
retrace me…

The sky’s blue shirt turned inside out—
darkness saturates the daylight’s drought…

Save me…

No one noticed the last star on the right
collapsed into its own black hole.

Slow hypnosis, the past is only lies—
feelings are only chemical.

So unfocused, cracks in the night sky,
eye patch over this telescope…

I’m so afraid of dying,
but all I will ever do is die…

Turn the light on, I’m dying
and all I will ever do is die…
