What's it like being beautiful?
I hope I didn't catch you off guard
with that question
I drink the mischief in your eyes
...
I'm wearing thin boots
I'm wearing thin boots
You wouldn't know that just by looking
But I step on embers every time you hit the ground
...
In a world like this
it's a feat to say
things that haven't been said.
So instead we'll try to say
...
I wish I could cross my arms
and cross your mind
But instead they hang straight down like unwanted leashes,
holding me to this heart
...
There used to be
smoke and gunshots
when I heard your name
Chaos would reign
...
I'll crash on the shore
in your memory when I'm weak,
find mysteries in seashells
that shouldn't have any.
...
He'll pull voice boxes out of our mouths
until we forgot we could ever speak,
stretched into strings so we can't help but follow
Can't find your way
...
What if I told you
she came to me in a dream?
Pixie eyes, pirate smile,
...
I fall a thousand times before morning,
spitting out handscribbled love notes,
Muse uses my tongue as loose scratch paper
and spells out galaxies I wish I could speak the languages of
...
Dusty, slippery, cavalcade
can't bear to hold your hands
Done with all the magic
just catch me if you can
...
