Beauty was his mask until time ripped it from his face  /  With a combination of regrets and cigarettes wet, and reddened with wine
All he wants is the ending to his crippled fairytale   /  The girl she was a mess and a riddle and smelt of lavender and lies
Running on empty faith and dreams eventually burns out   /  She spoke in double negatives before collapsing down the hall
So all he asked to ease the pain was:”How long does youth last?”  / And whispered:”It’s the worst of all feelings when you don’t feel nothing at all.”

I wish for a million wishes said the smart-ass kid on the hill
And try to make her laugh ’cause if I don’t, I’m scared nobody will.
Look: the painting of a painting, of an easel by the sea.
Let’s laugh and listen to music the tall grass folded underneath.

And look at the bottom of the ocean with our four eyes open wide.  /  If we are just a grain in time’s eternal hourglass, what then?
And try our best to give ourselves a purpose when we know there isn’t one.  /   To climb up to the top and fall the bottom all again.
She will break the cycle, doesn’t need a reason to believe.  /  I’ve lived this all before and I’ll live this all over and over

Time runs in a circle, time runs in a circle not a line

Innocence is but a veil for demons underneath  /  With a misconception of the view of space and the place of the divine
Oh but nothing’s lost forever if everything repeats  /  The boy was running late did he forget that everything straight is a lie
“So this must all have a meaning.” he thought, closing his eyes  /  There’s a reason for the seasons and the motions of the things I cannot see
All he prayed was that tomorrow he wouldn’t tell one lie  /  And hell and paradise are pale compared to always having to be me

I wish for a million wishes said the smart-ass kid on the hill
And try to make her laugh ’cause if I don’t, I’m scared nobody will.
