π Lyrics
Travelling light's how it usually goes
Mind open wide with the heart open closed
Start at the bottom but time only knows
Unravel the tale of the world that I chose
Seek an answer, in an infinite skyline, promising refrain
But the meaning tends to vanish when it's me, myself and I again
I don't complain about it, I just don't have the time, half the time
Wondering whether the weather will give me some sunshine
Reaching outward, for a lifeline that I won't find in this lifetime
Descending to a dystopia created in my mind
'Cause it's not fine, and it hasn't been for a while now
It feels like a struggle to smile now
Like is anything really worthwhile, how can it be?
Trial and error kinda lifestyle that I lead leaving me high and dry
Can smile with basically anyone
But the riddle's in who I can frown beside
My chaotic good alliance forgets about a revelation
Solitary confinement in a wet and crowded station
Just the faded light within the dark
Of life inside quotation marks
Maybe something's missing in this overcast heart
I'm always reaching out, shying away
Talking like you gotta stay
Better keep it just me
It's better that way, trust me
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart?
I figure let's be (let's be), lonely (lonely)
Together 'til the weather clears up, that's enough
Like hazy skyscrapers fade into the sky
η©Ίγ«ζΆγγγ side by side, gonna leave it all behind
Broken heart was blinded by your beautiful mind
And even if I could rewind it, think I'll likely wind up lying
In a desperate kinda silence, deep inside of this soul
To where my heart is, where the darkness tends to swallow me hole
We're told to smile for those, we feel like we owe it
Concealing happiness, never show it
Get into character, everyone's watching
Staring, comparing there's no sign of stopping
I'm dead on my feet, but I'm also dead set on not dropping
But someone explain why I wish everyone would stop talking
Better start walking
If today is the day I don't wanna pretend, I accept that
We forget being human is never a setback
Staying true to yourself, don't regret that
A weakness is strength, I respect that
Speaking up is impossible, nobody gets that
Wanna spell it out with the melody?
Keep on telling myself it'll turn into something
Burning inside as I'm learning this life
Is eternally searching for anyone else who can say that they felt that
My sense of myself has me held back
Continue chasing that reflection of my innermost pain
Within the weary smile of someone else I'd thought was the same
I'm always reaching out, shying away
Talking like you gotta stay
Better keep it just me
It's better that way trust me
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Thinking you and I could be alike so why be apart
I figure let's be (let's be), lonely (lonely)
Together 'til the weather clears up, that's enough
Like hazy skyscrapers fade into the sky
η©Ίγ«ζΆγγγ side by side, gonna leave it all behind
Reaching out, shying away
Talking like you gotta stay
Better keep it just me
It's better that way, trust me
Despite my distorted and selfish heart
Really you and I are not alike so let's keep apart
I'll kick it, just me (just me) lonely (lonely)
Forever 'cause whenever I stop and I look in your eyes
I realise that you just exist within my mind
I'm just a hazy skyscraper, fade into the sky
Be like a hazy skyscraper, fade into the sky
Forever hazy skyscrapers, fade into the sky
Hazy skyscraper, really there's no place I belong
Mind open wide with the heart open closed
Start at the bottom but time only knows
Unravel the tale of the world that I chose
Seek an answer, in an infinite skyline, promising refrain
But the meaning tends to vanish when it's me, myself and I again
I don't complain about it, I just don't have the time, half the time
