Lyrics:

VERSE 1:

You built the ground

With summer clouds,

There was no roof,

The sky sparkled.

But nothing lives

In thin air above,

Saturated dreams

Drifting by they’ll heave.

I’ll let you play

God for a day,

Come and suck me high,

You know you’ll leave me dry.

VERSE 2:

Dark storms were brewing

Behind watercolour clouds.

Disturbing discovery –

It’s the shallow pools that drown.

The rescue ark was leaving,

No one boards alone.

Went back only to find

You were first in line.

What I would give to break

All your crystal tears,

There’s nothing I can do

With fossilised fears.

VERSE 3:

Murder in the cellar

From a festering hole.

So many little clues,

Too little evidence.

Confirm the diagnosis

It’s sugar overdose,

Take the medicine

By throwing it away.

A baby voodoo doll

Never left the cradle,

Mother had to smother her

When daddy pulled the trigger.

CHORUS:

I traded a secret

For nicotine,

You kept the change

In a torn pocket.

Carried me through

Then stole my shoes,

It’s disgusting how

You still can smile.

VERSE 4:

Strike a matchstick,

Live on borrowed light.

Draw butterflies to die

In flames of peppermint.

Pull a bunch of roses

From your magic hat,

Painted all sorts of red

They smelled of almonds.

Take the thorns to make

A crown upon your head,

Crucified yourself

But never really bled.

VERSE 5:

Showed you where I stayed,

The lights were always on.

Told you where I kept,

Spare key’s under the mat.

Room’s in a mess,

Tables coffeestained,

You stirred the ashes in

The broken urn of dreams.

No life behind the windows,

Corridor is haunted,

But your ghost has fled

Far beyond the walls.

(CHORUS)

VERSE 6:

Think you left behind

Your scripts of apology,

I’m sure they belong

To you and not to me.

Gold lapel statuses,

You signed your autograph,

On a new ticket stub

To the same old show.

There was no role for me,

Just a backstage pass,

But honey I won’t keep

Your regrets for my pets.

"Every 4 lines of the song forms a mini story, and everything is metaphorical, even the ones that seem literal. It is basically a story about playing with someone's feelings. But anyway, interpret it however you like :)" -Sheryl Chan
