lyrics

Figures made of paper mâché
Disconnected layers of carefully worded news
Always disconnected and out of date
Two steps behind in what they say
The echoes bounce back to me
Peeling back their corners reveal what is hidden underneath
So bare, pulling in colors and light beams

Anything but the absence of what's not there
To hide and protect their empty blank stares

Figures made of paper mâché
Hanging from a pediatricians office
Covered in vibrant hues
Violet, turquoise, baby blue

The contrast between clinical walls
And the sterile aroma that fills the halls
The calm in relinquishing control
For the blood that they draw

Anything but the absence of what's not there
To hide and protect their empty blank stares

(sinking ship)
