i'm so tired of the fiction (who are we?), i get so caught up in the friction (you and me) / but it's okay to let it go (we can be so free), and find a comfort in the show (a thing nobody knows)

i'm so tired of the fiction (who are we?), i get so caught up in the friction (you and me) / but it's okay to let it go (we can be so free), and find a comfort in the show (a thing nobody knows)
i close my eyes, just like i've done a thousand times / watch me take the plunge to do everything that i have done before
we can make it to atlantis if we try; fly across the sea, sail through the sky / we can make it to the city down below, we can go where only you and me know
i wonder why i never got that lovin' for myself, is it because i made you mad or brought you down? / i don't know why i've never had that lovin' for myself; i'm just a mess sometimes, i'm sorry if i've ever let you down
and your help and your support are why i'm standing here today, so if it means i'll make you happy, i will sing my heart away
there's no sense in telling me, the wisdom of the fool won't set you free / but that's the way that it goes, and it's what nobody knows; every day, my confusion grows
i'm another day closer to the end of my life / it all gets wasted on nothing, i watch the flickering light
"i guess that's just that" / we sat there in a daze, as hours became days, we almost lost ourselves / "what's the fucking point?" / these things are hard to know, when you can never show, and it's inside of you
oh, some discretion makes the words you speak land a little bit harder; all the little nothings just won't workβ(let's go!)
i've been wanting for a shot that's sharp, to hit the target on my heart / some hypostatic bolt of blue, but you loosed the arrow far too straight and true / now i've got a hole so wide for fantasy to crawl inside and die / what's a confidant to do?
i'll find the point where the two paths meet, and i'll rectify what i left behind / some complication, a skewed machine; i dance delightful, it feels so right
are you a martyr well-deserved, or just afraid of what doesn't hurt? my darling, i know it all too well (but we're all pretending to be ourselves)
to be moving freely with gay abandon, inefficient and free from timeβi'm a convoluted amalgamate; i dance delightful the whole damn night, oh!
baby, aim is all i got to show, an imitation cupid's bow / now i'm a fool without a firing zone, i just don't wanna be alone
you wanna feel it but it's not quite there; it'll hurt you and you just don't care
thought i could make it on my own, not even nearly / but i'm scared to say that there ain't no other way (but now i see it all so clearly)
my lungs will breathe, my legs will move, my heart will beat / my eyes will see, my hands will feel that human heat
i'm throwing digits in a glass house, my shaky hands collect the wires and the loose ends / never thought that i could make it, maybe i'm better with a friend
this feeling is a covenant, a conflagration that's eminent / this soul abounds around the continent, and you spend so long on what you think it meant
and if you're lucky you can see what happens if you use my key / but if you knew pandora's box, YOU'D NEVER EVER OPEN THIS LOCK (and all you'd ever do is watch)
when you hold your lover and keep them by your side / oh, does the touch ignite you and set your flame alight?
i life my life in simple repetition; but i can barely call what i live a life, all i wanna do is to do you right
stay with me, oh, rest your weary head / we may feel so far away, but we can throw that gap away, if you'll justβ
but you're walking back home again, it's the same thing over again / but every day's a little bit different when you're looking for home; oh, you've lost your way, you've begun to roam!
but i falter on the forethought, i keep on running like a chicken with its head cut off / achromatic twisted aeronaut; a BIRDBRAIN, baby, i don't know when i'm supposed to stop!
(my darling, i'm a constant) i try so hard to trust you, i hold out for the breakthrough; it never seems to reach you / (my darling my companioβ) it's far too much to handle; but know if you're around, you're never by yourself
hold me tightly, love, i'll keep you safe right here / kiss me gently, love, you'll never have to fear
i can see it now up in the sky; this aint a warning, it is a sign / i can feel it now all in my heart, this revolution about to start
(you're the one this feeling's felt for) but that feeling's deep inside (baby, you know what you came for, it's the grandest restoreβjust hit the encore, baby!)
but i can't move my mouth to match my heart (they work so far apart) / i move so fast, but end up where i start (less than all of my parts)
