lyrics

Out of love and spiraling to a crash
Wonders tangled around my legs and neck
Did you care that I... ? Did you notice that I…? I was too afraid to ask.

Show me all the colours in the sky
Across every possible moment of your life
Smeared and blurred into clumsy shapes that you draw a line around
And we clap

It’s hard to know the perfect time to laugh
Buried under the tension of the forth act
Did I fit what you said you wanted me to?
Did I change it for the better, like I hoped I was born to do?

I think I’m ready for the curtain
I think I’m done watching you sit
Pay my tab and walk and block out all of the sounds of the traffic
Cars parading each royal runway
Stretched and splitting up the land
Each played lunging forward towards a bow
If they can only stick the landing

And when I head to my apartment will their heads remain in place
For the next traveling salesman who is hungry enough to face them
