Lyrics:
Long draw from a cigarette
No one loves us, so we all got pets
See my life, blank stares
Then your swiping next
Art of conversation lost in text
Double tap
We don't speak
But at least you know the colour of my desk
Know my birthday, middle name
Guess I gave it all away anyway
To a corpo selling us to a mainframe
Hate the way I always look for someone else to blame
Skate away the pain
Clack clack, cos they're standing on my neck
Eyes shut, dancing like a marionette
Stretched thin, butter over too much bread
What's next
Thought I'd be an adult by the end
Told me you got scars too, but you're on the mend
Both know it's not true, but we both pretend
Everyone needs a costume, I've got ten
Lovers aren't as rare as friends, I think you'll understand
Used to call you up and pour it out every night
Tell you secrets, show my weakness
Feature every night
I'll go deep, you go deeper
Feel it every night
Every time turn a blind eye, turn a blind eye
Used to call you up and pour it out every night
Tell me secrets, show your weakness
Feature every night
You'll go deep, I'll go deeper
Feel it every night
Every time turn a blind eye, turn a blind eye
Do you want to go to hell and back?
Dance til our ankles turn black
Modal jazz
I got two left feet, but I'll take your hand
Kick push on repeat
Dreams of fleeing on the Shinkansen
Sometimes I wish
I'd take a rocket ship and fly free
Jet across the world, just bring my SP-303
Is it love with the real you, or a blue screen?
Freeze this moment, Kodak perfect
We can flip some jazz beats
This that dream sequence, moon beams
Fever dream, suspend belief
Running bare feet through the streets, cut scenes
When I'm naked, I can't fake it
Let's be honest, summer rain
Do you love me or the thought of me?
Embrace the pain
Cos we learned how to rage
Forgotten how to speak
And we used to really talk
Now it's just emojis
We all wear a mask, nothing's ever what it seems
So I guess we'll dance forever
Steal a glimpse behind the scenes
Used to pour it out every night
Tell you secrets, show my weakness
Feature every night
I'll go deep, you go deeper
Feel it every night
Every time turn a blind eye, turn a blind eye
Used to call you up and pour it out every night
Tell me secrets, show your weakness
Feature every night
You'll go deep, I'll go deeper
Feel it every night
Every time turn a blind eye, turn a blind eye
Always a fun time
Never a one time
You were a lifeline
Might not have realised
Always in hindsight
Where did we go wrong?
Always a fine line
Coming on too strong
Fearing a foot wrong
Sign of a swan song
Nobody ever believes
It's trapeze
Forgot to come up and breathe
Was I a little intense?
Well of course
Can't we just reset?
Only one guarantee
Everything falls apart
Love is entropy
Can we pretend again
Used to call you up and pour it out every night
Tell you secrets, show my weakness
Feature every night
I'll go deep, you go deeper
Feel it every night
Every time turn a blind eye, turn a blind eye
Used to call you up and pour it out every night
Tell me secrets, show your weakness
Feature every night
You'll go deep, I'll go deeper
Feel it every night
Every time turn a blind eye, turn a blind eye
