No tall stories for you,
No hiding the truth.
Pretend that we're happy now,
In this broken town we're in.
I sold my beliefs for truth,
Couldn't tell them to you.
I'm no nihilist but,
I might have missed the point.
Keep my eyes shut,
Because I won't face the truth.
Walking backwards,
I've got nothing left to lose.
See the world burn,
Doesn't matter to you.
I watched your eyes change,
With all the wonder you consume. Its seeping into your skin,
Its not the clothes that you're sitting in.
It's the lies that we're breathing in this
Time. The feeling when it all intertwines.
Keep my eyes shut,
Because I won't face the truth.
Walking backwards,
I've got nothing left to lose.
It's alright, worry's finite.
Move along, get it wrong but at least I know I don't belong.
