lyrics

Scratching words on a windowsill trying to re create your childhood thrills.
In the room that you've returned to hoping the feelings don't start to feel used.
Can't you see the color in your eyes slowly turn to grey.
Those idle thoughts will not fan your flame or charge the heart your looking to reclaim.

Sing a song for us, like its the last time you can hit your highest notes
Sing a song for us, and you can tell a story of your loves and loss.

Kill the lights, get the setting right. Blackouts give a little room for error.
On the stage soak up specs of fame, maybe then you'll hold a couple clues.
Stretch those hands and get ready to press, one organized mess.
We'll count the lines in the arranged time meant to tug and pull us like a noose.

Sing a song for us, like its the last time you can hit your highest notes
Sing a song for us, and you can tell a story of your loves and loss.

Bring us to your dreams, and make them all seem, like every word you say is true and it's how it will be.

So give that smile, your charm is hard to swallow, but they march right behind you all the way into denial.

Your skin and bones are covered in worn clothes, so when you need to right a line it's all under control.

Use that head, but leave your mask for dead, so we can see the Simple Man that lives instead.
