lyrics

this don’t sound like the wind
just sounds like rustling leaves
& this ain’t us saying goodbye
it’s just a charade to complete the dream

you’re acting tho it’s just you alone
you’re hoping some saint will pity bones
that do parade at being grown
like a child’s sunset shadow

& this life ain’t what you’d make
not quite the role you’d want to play
but it’s ceaseless lights on an endless stage
not quite a cage but you can’t escape from it

& this don’t look like the wind
just looks like dancing, falling trees
& this ain’t us planning the lie
we’re only sculpting truth till it’s something we’d believe

& i’m falling all over myself
just waiting for some sign of your breath
while the wind tempts me with counterfeits
that try to steal away with your portrait

& i pat myself on the back
everytime i find you without a map
but then i find myself cold in a trap
w/ out a breadcrumb trail to find my way back to you

but this don’t look like the light
just looks like what it shines on
& this ain’t us living the lie
we’re just not moving anywhere beyond
