Souvenirs - CANDOUR
I've left the yellow walls as they were
Let the dust settle on all of the furniture
I'm paralyzed with a dauntless fear
It's shaking me awake, I'm burning like a forest fire
Everyone looks better when they're left behind
I'm an irresistible exception of a character on the side
I ruminate in solitude, cursing your unheeding attitude
I've grown to be resentful of all your souvenirs too
I leave my bed unmade and ignore the old coffee stains
As I go ahead and spill some more
Your expensive jewellery looks like it needs throwing out
I wish I loved money as much as you love to to disappear
Everyone looks better when they're left behind
I'm an irresistible exception of a character on the side
I ruminate in solitude, cursing your unheeding attitude
I've grown to be resentful of all your souvenirs too
Test the waters, trace the ocean floor
The broken sunlight loves embellishing broken souls
Have you felt that fractured haze of what euphoria could be
That weight on my conscience looks healthier on me
The house feels so empty when it's filled to the brim
I could drown in the silence of your colourful whims
The walls are whispering the way that you used to
I'm buried amongst your things, scared that if I leave them, I'll have to leave a part of me too
Everyone looks better when they're left behind
I'm an irresistible exception of a character on the side
I ruminate in solitude, cursing your unheeding attitude
I've grown to be resentful of all your souvenirs too.
