Persimmon (with Ella Meadows of Transit)

Move on, move away
Step out of the light
Onto the stage and
Fake, fake
Pretend, pretend
That every wound you mend
Makes you a saint

Pretending as you go
There are no instructions
With all of your best efforts
And all your good intentions
Terminally alone
Permanently damaged
Seems action is the only antidote to all your sadness, so

Move on, move away
Step out of the light
Onto the stage and
Fake, fake
Pretend, pretend
That every wound you mend
Makes you a saint

The first big step I missed
My go to excuse
It's easier to say
I'll wake up and change
The first big step you missed
Will you face the truth
It's easier to say
You wake up and change
The first big step i missed
I'll wake up and change, I'll wake up and change
It's easier to say
The first big step you missed
I'll wake up and change, I'll wake up and change
Just wake up

Fake, fake, fake

Keep pretending that
You'll be sleeping well tonight
Keep pretending that
That the truth is cut and dry
Keep pretending that
You need this more
Keep pretending that
Who needs this more than me?

You're tongue-tied and terrified
Of worst things first
It's worst thoughts first, you're
Tongue-tied and terrified
Everyday
You're tongue-tied and terrified
Of worst things first
It's worst thoughts first, you're
Tongue-tied and terrified
In every word you say

Move on, move away
Step out of the light

Move on, move away
Step out of the light
Onto the stage and
Fake, fake
Pretend, pretend
That every wound you mend
Makes you a saint

Who needs this more than me?
(Move on, move on)
Who needs this more than me?
(Move on, move on)
Who needs this more than me?
(Move on, move on)
