you confess you think you let your life pass watching sand slipping down an hour glass but there is never gonna be a right time to make a move you ve got to roll with the river if you re craving the coast because life is just a current we re all learning to float while shadows tie our crooked limbs to ropes i ve been staring at the skyline and i m studying the blues while my skin is disappearing i m painting pictures with a microphone by spilling vowels at the right tones while puppet strings pull the muscles wrapped around my throat i find it hard sometimes to become myself while i m dancing in the idle eyes of everyone else they leave me tongue tied i ve been staring at the skyline and i m studying the blues while my skin is disappearing and there s nothing you can do i ve been staring at the twilight are you staring at it too while your skin is disappearing and there s nothing i can do i ve been staring at the skyline and i m studying the blues while my skin is disappearing and there s nothing you can do i ve been staring at the twilight are you staring at it too while your skin is disappearing and there s nothing i can do
