lyrics

A wall of boxed and tiny friends
All trapped in two dimensions
inside our flats and houses
it’s been too long
it’s been too long

Another pointless, stagnant day
I cried for hours, that’s not okay
I need a face that’s saying
I’m not afraid
To turn your way

Maybe she was never born with it
She can get it over the counter
Maybe she was never born with it
Applying all the paint and the powder
Maybe she was never born with it
Fresh for every encounter
Brushes on her vermillion smile
In super-staying lipstick

I feel the earth will swallow me
I need some strength, solidity
I hide my insecurity
Behind this makeup
Pretend to shape up

Maybe she was never born with it
She can make out she’s artistic
Maybe she was never born with it
Pretend she’s so hedonistic
Maybe she was never born with it
Her spirit’s almost realistic
Brushes on her vermillion smile
In super-staying lipstick

Maybe you will always have to fake it
Apply some glossy protection
Baby, you will always have to fake it
That’ll pass closer inspection
Baby, you will always have to take it
For every deeper connection
Brushes on her vermillion smile
In super-staying lipstick

No poet and no pioneer
No globetrotter no visionaire
No escapist, no soloists
No Seductress no composer
No pathfinder, no dreamer
No driver, no mover
No creator, philosopher
No ringleader, no lover
