back in high school i remember
how i hid my prom pictures
told my parents i was going with a friend
but how my heart beat when i kissed her
and i no longer wanted to whipser
but i wasn't ready to beg
it's been a slow dance for way too long
how much louder do you need me to be
you take every chance to hear me wrong
so since you still don't get it
I don't wanna hide her
she's my favorite perfume
i don't wanna hide her
but you make me feel like i have to
‘ve got a new girl i’m obsessed
she makes it easy to forget the rest
and my cheeks now have a permanent flush
got her face inside my locket
and her hand sits in my back pocket
there's nothing platonic 'bout us
it's been a slow dance for way too long
how much louder do you need me to be
you take every chance to hear me wrong
so since you still don't get it
I don't wanna hide her
she's my favorite perfume
i don't wanna hide her
but you make me feel like i have to
I don't wanna hide her
she's my favorite perfume
i don't wanna hide her
stop making me feel like i have to
You’re bound in lilac silks
Contrasts your dark brown eyes
Movements like a trick
It’s like you’re walking on the sky
Think I found you
Found the spy I’m looking for
Think I found you
You’re like the silence of a winter’s storm
Up and down the halls
No one hears you coming by
More subtle than nightfall
You made sound your own disguise
Think I found it
Found the spy I’m looking for
Think I found it
You’re like the silence of a winter’s storm
I’ve got no guarantees but I’ll teach you how to set yourself free
This ain’t no happy ending it’s only a new beginning
Trade your work for reward and you’ll come to afford anything you ask for
your voice won’t be ignored if you
Help me fight this war
Want you everywhere
Be the fly on every wall
Even up the score
Watch our rivals bend and fall
Think I found it
Found the spy i’m looking for
Think I found you
You’re like the silence of a winter’s storm
Glass on soft lips always cuts
Light pink turns to red
Let the shards fall in my mouth
Tried to speak I just bled
Waters rise without a warning
Blood turns blue to red
Close your eyes try to ignore that
There's ice above your head
If you try to scream you might not make it
Choke on your own sound
Sink down and down to reach the bottom
Need some solid ground
Stand tall
Puff your chest out
Don't breathe
Show them no fear
Maybe they'll let you keep your mouth
Silence is
What you will come to love
Silence won't
Know what will come of it
Silence
Silence
Darkness swims in every shadow
Make the glass reflect
Find yourself a new calypso
Feel you must forget them
If you miss one spot
They're sure to find you
Come up from behind
Their tiny fangs will scratch and bite you
Mem'ries start to unwind
Stand tall
Puff your chest out
Don't breathe
Show them no fear
Maybe they'll let you keep your mouth
Silence is
What you will come to love
Silence won't
Know what will come of it
Silence
Silence
Stand tall
Puff your chest out
Don't breathe
Show them no fear
Maybe they'll let you keep your mouth
Silence is
What you will come to love
Silence won't
Know what will come of it
Silence
Silence
Silence
I won the genetic lottery
'M all smiles and ferocity
Thrust into this dichotomy
Don't try to make me your exhibit
I'm made up of stars and champagne
Got a fire that'll never fade
How could I know there would ever be a day
I'd be just a statistic
Don't tell me to smile
Don't call me your baby
I am not a prize
You'll never win me
I'm not here to fight
But I'll always be ready cause I'm worth so much more
I've got gold in my veins
I pay a high price for bleeding
I learned to choose my head over my heart
Flashed you smiles though it's just forced charm
Will pain manage to tear me apart
As you slip my another scar?
Not a day'll go by that I'm left untouched
How will I ever know who I can trust
One bite and it all just turns to dust
But I'll still keep that burning spark
Don't tell me to smile
Don't call me your baby
I am not a prize
You'll never win me
I'm not here to fight
But I'll always be ready cause I'm worth so much more
I've got gold in my veins
I pay a high price for bleeding
Grey clouds above me
Go back to sleep
Repaint my ceiling
No dreaming
Black fingernail polish is chipping
Mascara runs down my face
I'm losing this race
I'm losing this
Lost undercovers
Vision is blurred
Lost my defences
Noise relentless
Black fingernail polish is chipping
Mascara runs down my face
I'm losing this race
Black fingernail polish is chipping (I can't keep lying on the floor)
Mascara runs down my face
I'm losing this race (I need to leave)
Deep down below the glow
A shadow of life remains
She let all her colors go
As she left on a one-way train
Inside the sun
He chipped at her heart of gold
The flecks tore up her veins
She bled 'till her skin turned cold
And tried to get rid of the pain
Inside the sun
Living in grey
And feeling just like prey
It gets so much harder to stay
Inside the sun
She picks herself off the ground
And stands like she used to
Cleans off the old battleground
And tries to become brand new
Inside the sun
I memorized every magazine cover and hollows in model’s faces
Burned the images deep in my mind so I’d know just what to chase
They took up such little space
Scrutinized my own body and pinched at my skin like it was a sin
Left my food on the table and reveled at spots in my vision
I felt the world spin
I was lost stalking silhouettes
Tryna disappear
Chased shadows in an endless duet
Could never get near
I was lost stalking silhouettes
Lost stalking silhouettes
I specialized in the ways I’d make everyone think I already ate
Didn’t even want muscles to cover my bones or hold any weight
Just needed to concentrate
I was lost stalking silhouettes
Tryna disappear
Chased shadows in an endless duet
Could never get near
I was lost stalking silhouettes
Lost stalking silhouettes
All I wanted
Was to feel like I could fly
Let the wind blow me away
So I’d never have to say goodbye
I was lost stalking silhouettes
Tryna disappear
Chased shadows in an endless duet
Could never get near
I was lost stalking silhouettes
Lost stalking silhouettes
