1.
Synthetic skin I don’t want this to ever end I made it up A world that we could both live in Every memory tailored to me To fit my every need And you say that’s not how it happened But I disagree That’s how it happened for me And it’s not changing Your skin is like plastic to me Every little detail so fake Your skin is like plastic and melting
2.
Every time you try to fly You’ll pay a price to be that high I have felt the worst of it I’ll never make it out of this Trapped inside a bottle here We float along inside of it Underneath a fluorescent light My skin turns to night Now there’s no where to go Now that you’re here with me We can stay here and float For eternity Now I know you’re a fly Stuck to my wall Can you hear it all? Do you hear at all?
3.
Pastel smile Drugstore guile Candy hair With an ocean stare Melt and fade Chrome switchblade Lean and sway Sweet foreplay Some days I need to push away from you I know you need it too I wouldn’t hold it against you Just leave for a while Borderline bored out my mind I think I’ll try but not tonight Figure eights around my head Dancing words that I thought were dead I’m so scared of that black hair What am I doing? Hoping for a change It’ll always be the same I never want to be this bored again Suddenly I can feel The ending drawing near I never want to feel this bored again Suddenly it’s not real but underneath I can feel the weight of it all
4.
She hid inside the wall Waited for night to fall Take me with you Those cries led me To where you couldn’t go To where we couldn’t go Angel kiss my ear Devil hold me near In the garden These flowers bloom but I can’t feel them The colors change in me eyes But I feel the sun Glowing through the ground The rainwater Starts to come down Maybe I should Get above ground
5.
Every time I feel alive You come around to end it there A rocket ship going nowhere A planet far beyond the atmosphere We’re so far away Pushing through another galaxy Can you feel the ecstasy We’re so far away I’ll never make it home Can we stay away?
6.
One in the same But we’re so slightly apart You have the same name But we will never know each other My burnt brown hair Glows golden in the light of your world Every wave crashes down on me Every planet eclipses me Every light fades into me Every thought escapes me Your red inside is my green The gravity of earth is lighter than it seems I’ve seen it all in a daydream We share the same blood stream Do you think of me A parallel is all I see
