lyrics

Darkness
Hide what you think I won't like
Hide what you think I might steal
You're probably right

And daylight
You can't tell a lie worth a damn
Can't keep a secret for long
There's no ace in your hand

Say that you love flashes of this tragic beautiful life
Take what you want,
Basking in the fallacy that's derived

What can I make of these days
I know that I'll never miss?
Everything means nothing
But there's got to be more to this

And silence
Did you really consider this long?
Has this always been your plan?
Tell me something's wrong

And sickness
Can I see what it's like to spin?
Oh we've been partners so long
Take the lead for a change

What can I make of these days
I know that I'll never miss
Everything means nothing
But there's got to be more to this

All I feel is tired
All I want's an end
All im asking is act like I'm not pretend
Please do carry on
Nothing here to see
No one's asking for saviors
Just save your receipts

(Then various oh ohs)
