lyrics

Do you remember what it used to be like when we were free?

We could peer out of the window
Without shaking
Through our joy we should have seen
The writing on the wall

Starlight in our eyes
Twinkles buffering
Slowly hazing
Into nothing

I don't want to
Fade out with you
Give me something
To hang on to

Flowers in your eyes
Petals buffering
A brittle disguise
Are you suffering?

Starlight in our eyes
Blinding, buffering
Slowly hazing
Into nothing

I don't want to
Miss out on you
Give me some way
I can reach you
Stop the fear
Murdering you

Your fear of missing out
Keeps you locked in your room
Staring out of the glass
At shapes behind the blinds
Framed by window dressing
A cheap illusion
Fear of fading out
Means you're whitewashing yourself
Like a palimpsest portrait
Writing's on the wall
Unstitch your gaze
The killer's inside you
