Fading colours in my head All my candles burn both ends Words I swear I thought I read I've never known Paint me a face in the mirror Hate me but wait for a while Make me the fate of a sinner Replace me with some other smile Racing numbers pass me by All my standards turned aside Names I wish I left behind But not alone Paint me a face in the mirror Hate me but wait for a while Make me the fate of a sinner Replace me with some other smile A siphoned ambition A bleeding belief The silent admission I'm about to concede Waning habits safe and sold Lies I swear I never told Paint me a face in the mirror Hate me but wait for a while Make me the fate of a sinner Replace me with some other smile
