It seems we're still the same All these years of trying to change the pace I've forgotten all the reasons Got a song for every season And the things we know Could only serve to break our hearts if they should go But we won't miss the show Cause I I wouldn't have to call them lies if I could read the signs It's begging to be clearer No masks and no mirrors It seems a world could break All these years of trying to chase the rain A pill with no placebo A hand-me-down casino All these ways we cope Trying to look beyond the winter sun and summer snow Look for the afterglow But you You could be quicker than our cues if you just thought it through Something scary's coming nearer No masks and no mirrors Cause there's much to hate And there's ways to blame the time and place You'd kill it if you cared But you keep away from prayer Cause you you got your hope Can't let go of all those promises you never told Your secret fools gold But we I could pretend it was a dream that cut you out of me But every day we waste gets dearer No masks and no mirrors
