lyrics
Footsteps in the quicksand
Some fade just to wait for the second hand
Stone-faced when the light's cast
They change every shape until the edges match
Be my identity and I'll erase all apparent mistakes until they disappear
Keep within the lines
Let your friends decide the colors and the shapes
Dumb smile and a blank stare
What a waste on a body that should not compare
Go on in jealousy
Bright lights, quick flash
Waiting for the backlash staring at your dignity
A half-written fight song closing out with no resolve
Is this what you've been dying to see?
Keep within the lines
Let your world decide the colors and the shapes
There's a reason why we don't try to stop the fight
It complicates the stakes
Who do you see when you look at me?
Who do you see?
Footsteps in the quicksand (keep within the lines)
Some fade just to wait for the second hand (keep within the lines)
Erase every color and shape until they disappear (keep within the lines)
(Within the lines) until we disappear
Some fade just to wait for the second hand
Stone-faced when the light's cast
They change every shape until the edges match
Be my identity and I'll erase all apparent mistakes until they disappear
Keep within the lines
Let your friends decide the colors and the shapes
Dumb smile and a blank stare
What a waste on a body that should not compare
Go on in jealousy
Bright lights, quick flash
Waiting for the backlash staring at your dignity
A half-written fight song closing out with no resolve
Is this what you've been dying to see?
Keep within the lines
Let your world decide the colors and the shapes
There's a reason why we don't try to stop the fight
It complicates the stakes
Who do you see when you look at me?
Who do you see?
Footsteps in the quicksand (keep within the lines)
Some fade just to wait for the second hand (keep within the lines)
Erase every color and shape until they disappear (keep within the lines)
(Within the lines) until we disappear
