Every photo triggers recollection of what’s gone

Caught the perfect angle, begging to be led on

So, dance along! tell me i’m everything and more

Still ignored, how deplorable!

I can’t be what you want

Searching for the blurry moments

Flashing, a rift in time

I’m standing, hoping all for nothing in every paradigm

Avoiding all the damage that’s left

A smell that makes me choke

Despite the guilt i still move forward

Breathe the ash and thеn taste the smoke

Ah! anothеr good for nothing

Another tragedy

Living an undeserved purpose in an analogy

I’m tearing through the empty pages

The order’s never right

We give our thanks to those who lived it

Fingerprints and a smudge

That’s life!

None of that matters anyway

You can hear that sob story any day

With a gaze so demeaning

A duplicate with no meaning

So we live a life seldom would detest

Close your eyes and breathe a sigh, who would have guessed

To find a life that's picturesque...

Every photo triggers recollection of what’s gone

Caught the perfect angle, begging to be lead on

So, dance along! tell me i’m everything and more

Still ignored, how deplorable!

I can’t be what you want

Like a red light daydream, a glow that burns my sight

Catching every meaning, i’ll wait in the moonlight

Let’s live a lie! tell me it’s worthless, nothing more

Blotched a mess, inky happiness

Until i can’t be heard

Well, that’s fine! but, it lost its shine over time

Still we press onwards, can we escape this lie?

Until then, we’re at a loss

Still, we can’t admit we’ve lost

Still, deny! and, of course, i don’t mean to pry

But, do you really still think i’m the bad guy?

...

Still, we won’t admit we’ve lost

“ah, i’ll try a different viewpoint!”

Another fallacy

Despite all my best intentions, i still played make-believe

I’m scouring the vacant spaces

To find an awful sight

Despite the dread i still move forward

Turn back now, you can make this right

None of that matters anyway

Surely you can live your life another day?

Waste away, always dreaming

Again, confused! it’s so deceiving

So we live a lie seldom would detest

Close your eyes and breathe a sigh, who would have guessed

And still, to say that this is best...?

Every photo triggers recollection of what’s gone

Caught the perfect angle, begging to be lead on

So, dance along! tell me i’m everything and more

Still ignored, how deplorable!

I can’t be what you want

In this empty city, the shadows run our lives

Just outside the stillness, i’ll wait in the moonlight

There’s no need to cry! tell me, were you hoping for more?

Make a mess, fake a happiness

My vision starts to blur

Every photo triggers recollection of what’s gone

Caught the perfect angle, begging to be lead on

So, dance along! tell me i’m everything and more

Still ignored, how deplorable!

Did you find what you want?

Every photo triggers recollection of what’s gone

Caught the perfect angle, begging to be lead on

So, dance along! tell me i’m everything and more

Still ignored, how deplorable!

I can’t be what you want

Every filtered memory, the remnants of that life

Made a perfect picture, a truth inside the lie

Please dance with me! everything is alright

What a mess! captured happiness

In every vivid hue

In the end, i remembered it

I want to make it true
