lyrics

I see you still put on a show
To hide what we already know

The scars you had they healed fast
I'm so glad you put them in the past

You hide yourself in plain sight
Careful not to cause a fight

Give it away to take it back
All your magic is turning black

But when I see the glimmer in your eyes
I start to think about our slow demise
Our slow demise
Our slow demise
Our slow demise

I'm jealous of the shadows
I'm stuck open like a clear window

Vulnerable to all the storms
Try and keep up with the social norms

Another day another scene
This little life is so serene

The love we had is fading fast
Lets just put it in the past

But when I see the sparkle in your eyes
I start to think about the slow demise
The slow demise
The slow demise
The slow demise

You freed me from this tired old routine
Left thinking it was all a dream
Some things should never work out
I'm sorry you're trapped in a roundabout
It's kinda sad to see you go
I hope you enjoyed the show

I'm sorry but it was all an act because my heart turned charcoal black
