Tree lines, leading to the ocean, deep blue like emotion, burning in the sand,
I’ll wait, waiting for the lines to break, well it may be some time before I get back home.
Might I be what you see, do I give myself away
By the lies on my face that promised you I’d stay
Now I just don't recognise that picture of myself anymore...
White walls, dimly lit in long halls, only one direction, leave the way you came,
All eyes, burning through my paper heart, No I won’t last long here dissolving in this glass.
Might I be what you see, I give myself away
By the lies on my face that promised you I’d stay
Now I just don't recognise that picture of myself anymore.
Like a soul lost at sea I know that I won't be anymore...
Did you, did you try to call me, to tell me you’d protect me or was it just the storm,
I called, I called until my breath caught fire, and I thought I heard you from somewhere in the wood.
Might I be what you see, I give myself away
By the lies on my face that promised you I’d stay
Now I just can't stand to look at that picture of myself anymore.
I’m burning at the edge, I'm fading on old paper...
Like a soul lost at sea, I knew I wouldn’t be anymore.
