Letra de Behind Your Painted Eyes

Shadows in the hallway Candles claw the walls Your name in the cracked glass Still bleeding from the fall You stitched yourself from borrowed skin Every story Safety pin Laughing in my open door With pockets full of someone else's war I let you write your fiction on my ribs Every line a quiet little fib How did I miss the seams Splitting through my dreams You never were who you pretend to be Every word Another cut in me I held my breath inside your borrowed scene While you painted over everything I'd seen You never were who you pretend to be Just a stranger in the shape of what I need I tore the mask and all that's left is empty You never were who you pretend to be You practiced every perfect lie Like makeup smeared across your eyes You fed me fragments Black and white Then hid the colors dying in the light I kept your secrets folded in my chest Built a chapel from the things you never said Now every whispered vow Is caving in me now You never were who you pretend to be Every word Another cut in me I held my breath inside your borrowed scene While you painted over everything I'd seen You never were who you pretend to be Just a stranger in the shape of what I need I tore the mask and all that's left is empty You never were who you pretend to be I see the cracks beneath your porcelain Hear the echo of the names you've worn All the faces that you've cycled through None of them were ever really you (were they?) I'm peeling back your borrowed history Every page a different alibi Now I'm the ghost that walks away While you're trapped in your disguise You never were who you pretend to be Every word Another cut in me I held my breath inside your borrowed scene While you painted over everything I'd seen You never were who you pretend to be Just a stranger in the shape of what I need I tear the mask and watch your kingdom empty You never were who you pretend to be You never were You never were Just an echo in a stolen body You never were who you pretend to be
