about

We remade this song when we recorded The Watson Brothers' Ohom. This is the original. Re: the lyrics, we were seventeen. Sorry.

lyrics

Everything's perfect
I've got nothing to dream
Simplicity blue inside
My rainbow screams
Cliches to hide behind
My brand new skin
Recycling my old themes
I don't know I've been

End of a conversation
My gilded cage
I call out for my wisdom
Otherwise engaged
I see through the mirror
I am just me
Maybe there's something missing
That I could never see

I know myself and my own plastic wings
Shadows never lie but they can't speak a thing
You are my illusion that I can bring
I am my new allusion for me to cling

And when it rains in me
I can't make it dry
Jump from the cliff
I say I'm learning to fly
And if it makes you wonder
And smile or sigh
My naiveté will rescue
Me with a lie
And this is not the end of
Everything near
And it won't start no new thought
Insincere
Though far away from me
I'm always here
As I feel thoughts that I'd thought
Do I feel scared

I see myself and I hear my own screams
Don't let it bother your own possible dreams
As it all shapes up to the final scheme
I stand by and I watch it all seem
