lyrics

We're outside, and it's all golden and green.
We're sitting down by some silvered and quiet shining water.
She says something that strikes of the comically irrelevant,
And I smile, feeling bewildered but free.

And there's truth in these words, but it's a truth I'd rather died.
It's like snow, curving with grace and appeal, but smothering your bones.

We're standing beside an open window now,
It's a grey and dusky view, sweet poison slipping through my lungs.
She asks if she can have some.
I say, 'Sure, finish it; I'm through', and I pull her close into my lips.
She smokes and she exhales, then
We sit down peacefully, and she throws her arms around me.

There's still truth in these words, but it's a truth that tears inside.
It's like light dancing on the side of your cave,
But you know there's no sun outside (or you'd rather not look).

In time, the real might get better.

Remember that: the real might get better.

There was truth in my words, but it's the truth of games and lies.
It's like time, slipping away before your eyes,
And a twisted dream, so beautiful, left behind.
