Silhouettes - Smokescreen lyrics

rate me

Write me off<br />

Or let me leave<br />

Those lines read like a script<br />

A fuckin' forgery<br />

<br />

It’s the subtleties that defeat me<br />

It’s your eyes that make me more complete<br />

So you can find me in the backyard<br />

Singin' of apologies<br />

<br />

So is it up to me?<br />

What’s at stake is far more fragile<br />

I can’t stand to watch you shake<br />

I’ll try to let this roll over and over again<br />

Like our defenses<br />

So tonight when we collide <br />

I just can’t compromise for contention<br />

<br />

We can rise like smoke <br />

Ghost’s springs from our haunted hopes<br />

So you can find me in black <br />

Matching the Dark in your eyes<br />

<br />

Clinch your fist as you face the plaster<br />

Trace the cracks to the fault lines<br />

Where the fault lies <br />

Just let it die<br />

<br />

So is it up to me?<br />

What’s at stake can leave you calloused <br />

I love the way you say<br />

I’ll try to let this roll over and over again<br />

Like our defenses<br />

So tonight when we collide<br />

I just can’t compromise for contention<br />

<br />

I’ll try to let this roll over and over again<br />

Like our defenses<br />

So tonight when we collide <br />

I just can’t compromise for contention
