(na na na na)
open the curtain, cover up your eyes
a feeling so familiar, you can’t recognize
the girl in the deep end found a big surprise
but the girl in the shallow end turned her head and died
conflating bravery with terrorism and the reverse
only regurgitating stories that were made to rehearse
and you would think a world of lies / doubles over an ending so pitiful
(oh my god, i think i’m suffocating)
hurry up, the walls are closing in
i’ll run around in circles right back to where i started
hold the door, between a rock and a high place
forget about the nuances that can’t be defined, ah!
what the hell is wrong with me?
always looking for another way to make me bleed (if i can see it, see it)
are you watching over me?
i’m invisible, but color paints the canvas clean (if i don’t need it, need it)
(na na na na na na na na na na)
are you ready? take your aim, come on, hit on the mark!
(na na na na na na na na na na)
with ignorance so bright, that it leaves me in the dark!
time to begin and never ever stop
this pool full of chemicals flooding to the top
say, bubbles float around a heavy weight to drop
but everybody knows that the bubbles always pop
my words are falling out of rhythm and my mouth has gone dry
it shakes me down into my core when i find nothing to try
but even when i writhe in pain / what you see of the picture’s so beautiful
(oh my god, i’m getting dizzy, dizzy)
play the game, i’ll make the most of my place
running round in circles on a different day
stuck between the chances and a fake face
only commodifying everything of mine
“stupid, stupid!” screaming in frustration
“doctor, doctor, this needs some attention”
hold the rock, paper, scissors, forget it, hold your tongue!
ignoring every narrative that can’t be confined, ah!
what the hell is wrong with me?
always looking for another way to make me bleed (if i can see it, see it)
are you watching over me?
i’m invisible, but color paints the canvas clean
what the hell is wrong with me?
cover up with lots of plaster that’s too hard to breathe (if i can see it, see it)
are you watching over me?
i’m invisible, but color paints the canvas clean (if i don’t need it, need it)
(na na na na na na na na na na)
are you ready? take your aim, come on, hit on the mark!
(na na na na na na na na na na)
with ignorance so shallow, i’m falling of the deep end
(na na na na na na na na na na)
are you ready, take your aim, will you hit on the mark?
(na na na na na na na na na na)
with ignorance so bright, that it leaves me in the dark
you and your heart
i wonder just how idiotic i might look to you for ever going so far!
