Masquerade

Your lips like burnt sugar. Once sweet, now bitter. And I wonder, is it my fault?
We're trying to save face in this masquerade. We occupy the same space watching each other fade away.
I shut my eyes to shut you out. As far as I can tell, you're not happy anymore.
We're trying to save face in this masquerade. We occupy the same space watching each other fade away.
Shut my eyes...shut you out.

Copy, Paste, Repeat

Copy, paste, repeat...
Build a world that's so perfect and neat.
The little boxes, they fit me so well.
My own personal heaven, or personal hell.
It's all what you make of it.
Work, eat, and sleep..
Can I negotiate the tone of the alarm beep?
The great suburban divide is a cut that runs deep.
The more you get rich, the more you become cheap.
Until you lose all your worth.
The saturation is leaving my skin.
I feel the heat of conformity.
It's slow burning, but closing in.
Until all I am is reduced to nothing.
Until all we become doesn't amount to anything.
Red, green, or blue?
The illusion of choice is so fucking alluring.
The little pills, they make me feel so well...

Evergreens
04:15

Eyes wide with the scene of the leaves on the trees. Tall evergreens take me back home. Where the winter breeze blows right through me. Chills me to the bone. Everything opaque. The look on your face. The words you say with such grace. Take me home. Take me home.
Eyes shut with the scene of the waves at my feet. I think of you and I'm back home. Where the ocean breeze stills my breathing. Fills my lungs with hope. Everything's in place. The sun turns to shade. Your smile that makes the trees sway. Take me home. Take me home.

Waiting for Winter

Say that this will never end
When our time is up, we start over again
An infinite loop of you and me
Just have to get out of this summer heat
Where are you tonight?
I can't seem to find my way through
Waiting for winter to let me find my way to you
The cold air cuts through
Everything fades to shades of blue
The dark sun sets low
Hold me close in the falling snow
Type it up and just hit send
Counting on satellites to let me pretend that
There's no distance between you and me
Just have to close my eyes and dream...
Where are you tonight?
I can't seem to find my way through
Waiting for winter to let me find my way to you
The cold air cuts through
Everything fades to shades of blue
The dark sun sets low
As I pull you in and never let go...
Come here, come close
I just want you to know
That this porcelain world is not a home
Take my hand and don't let go
I've driven too far to just say...
Where are you tonight?
I can't seem to find my way through
Waiting for winter to let me find my way to you
The cold air cuts through
Everything fades to shades of blue
The dark sun sets low
And in this moment, all is whole.
