You confess you think you let your life pass Watching sand slippin' down an hourglass But there is never gonna be a right time to make a move You've got to roll with the river, if you're craving the coast Because life is just a current, we're all learning to float While shadows tie our crooked limbs to ropes I've been starin' at the skyline And I'm studying the blues While my skin is disappearin' I'm painting pictures with my microphone By spilling vowels at the right tones While puppet strings pull the muscles wrapped around my throat I find it hard sometimes to become myself Well I'm dancin' in the idle eyes of everyone else They keep me tongue-tied (tongue-tied, tongue-tied...) I've been starin' at the skyline And I'm studying the blues While my skin is disappearing And there's nothing you can do I've been starin' at the twilight Are you staring at it too? While your skin is disappearing And there's nothing you can do
