lyrics

your lips were pinned back in the guise of a smile
mimicking stills so quickly compiled
I haven't noticed them all
the first time my eyes felt nothing returned
no spark, no flicker, no glimmer discerned
I couldn't stare for too long

our eyes were all closed but the forecast was clear
at least in the morning they all proved sincere
they all ducked out when we blinked
the organ stood silent but rose to the sky
guilt in their bones but I told the lie
the potluck all went to waste

your clocks were already wound
you choked when they pulled your life out
so unsure
no sure that the verdict was clear
no sure what's keeping us here
but I'm sure
I know this won't happen again
