pageant

pause at the part where you lift up your hands and beg me for forgiveness

the icy chains that bind us into coinciding forces might begin to bend

and in that moment when the earth shuts down and all i see is you

i'll learn the truth

and between your eyes i'll justify your abuse

but we'll keep our face and we'll both pretend that we're awake

we'll hide the pain

in static smile we can't escape

this is harder than i thought it would be

oh it would be

i fought it when you lost the goal

tried to turn it to something logical

you're hiding behind our pageant and it's time to stop the show

you took me for granted everyday

i tried to give you my heart but i got pain

let lyrics be sideways truths while we beat around the bush

you throw me to the edge each time you get confused

then i mask my skin when i tell you nothing's bruised

the image is breaking

all the pieces fall

and in it's place

i can't feel you at all

come prove me wrong

come and show me what we've earned so long

it's bigger and it's strong and it's fighting through the fog

this is harder

this is murder

and it's making me wade

come take the reigns

i fought it when you lost the goal

tried to turn it to something logical

you're hiding behind our pageant and it's time to stop the show

you took me for granted everyday

i tried to give you my heart but i got pain

let lyrics be sideways truths while we beat around the bush

stuck feelings going down the drain and i start to feel like i'm going insane

stuck feelings going down the drain

down the drain

out of my brain

stuck feelings going down the drain and i start to feel like i'm going insane

stuck feelings going down the drain

down the drain

out of my brain

stuck feelings going down the drain and i start to feel like i'm going insane

stuck feelings going down the drain

down the drain

out of my brain

stuck feelings going down the drain and i start to feel like i'm going insane

stuck feelings going down the drain

down the drain

out of my brain

i fought it when you lost the goal

tried to turn it to something logic-

behind our pageant and it's time to stop the show

you took me for granted everyday

i tried to give you my heart-

let lyrics be sideways truths while we beat around the bush

so burn it up

i won't fall to my knees

you won't lie to me

make this easy darling

easy

so burn it up

come and beg at my door

be here when i need it most

drown me in your comfort
