lyrics

The Riddle

There's static on the screen.
My meaning means nothing.
It's in everything I say.
My mouth is dripping lies,
Gathering fiends and flies.
It's in everything I say.

Inside I'm frozen cold, weak,
And seasons old.
It's in everything I feel.
I'm rigid as a stone;
A tower of skin and bone.
It's in everything I feel.

I'm a witch upon a pyre,
A martyr up for hire.
It's in everything I do.
I'm symbols in a tomb.
I'm orphaned, lost in Rome.
It's in everything I do.

I don't dare dream.
I just hope to seem like I'm
Happy
Now.

I don't dare dream.
Just hope to seem like I'm
Happy
Now.

It's reflections in pale water.
It's emotional slaughter.
It's in everything I think.
It's broken bottles in a bar.
It's me painting another scar.
It's in everything I think.

I crawl in underground.
In forgotten soil I drown.
It's in everything I am.
And these hands of mine I fear,
I fear, won't dig me out of here.
It's in everything I am.

I don't dare dream.
I just hope to seem like I'm
Happy
Now.

I don't dare dream.
Just hope to seem like I'm
Happy
Now.
