The Shroud
Shroud your body in
White lies and turtlenecks
Tell yourself you don't belong
Dry your eyes out with
Sea salt and paper towels
Don't let another tear fall
Mold that mask into
Something just a little bit
Easier to contend with
Why don't you tear it all away?
Break it down brick by brick
And mortar up a brand new life again
You'll love the sunny days again
And dance a waltz with drops of rain
You'll find a way to entertain
And live happily in the mundane
(And thanks for all the inspiration)
Build your house up of
Playing cards and sugar glass
Line up all your soldiers, girl
Forget the poetry
It's not like it was ever yours
You're lying to yourself again
Why don't you tear it all away?
Break it down brick by brick
And mortar up a brand new life again
You'll love the sunny days again
And dance the waltz with drops of rain
You'll find a way to entertain
And live happily in the mundane
You'll clear a path away from pain
You'll drink from cups of fine champagne
And learn the power of refrain
And learn the feeling of disdain
And be blind to all that you can feign
While lying with your frightened swaine
Because you chose to walk this lane
Of fallen stars and the pseudo-sane
(But thanks for all the inspiration)
White lies and turtlenecks
Tell yourself you don't belong
Dry your eyes out with
Sea salt and paper towels
Don't let another tear fall
Mold that mask into
Something just a little bit
Easier to contend with
Why don't you tear it all away?
Break it down brick by brick
And mortar up a brand new life again
You'll love the sunny days again
And dance a waltz with drops of rain
You'll find a way to entertain
And live happily in the mundane
(And thanks for all the inspiration)
Build your house up of
Playing cards and sugar glass
Line up all your soldiers, girl
Forget the poetry
It's not like it was ever yours
You're lying to yourself again
Why don't you tear it all away?
Break it down brick by brick
And mortar up a brand new life again
You'll love the sunny days again
And dance the waltz with drops of rain
You'll find a way to entertain
And live happily in the mundane
You'll clear a path away from pain
You'll drink from cups of fine champagne
And learn the power of refrain
And learn the feeling of disdain
And be blind to all that you can feign
While lying with your frightened swaine
Because you chose to walk this lane
Of fallen stars and the pseudo-sane
(But thanks for all the inspiration)
