Lyrics

The Changeling

You're a liar

I am too

What are two liars to do

But keep on lying 'til something comes true?

Keep on lying 'til our lips turn blue?

You're a liar

So am I

But your tales are wild and bright

Dot the dark night with stars in the sky

Through my nightmares hold me close and tight

Stories like these never last long

But while I've the chance

I'll sing a new song

I'll take your hand and lead you to dance

It might just kill me but I'll take that chance

It might just kill me but I'll take that chance

You're a liar

I don't care

It wouldn't quite be fair

Twisted tales and stories we share

While my hands are wrapped in your hair

Stories like these never last long

But while I've the chance

I'll sing a new song

I'll take your hand and lead you to dance

It might just kill me but I'll take that chance

It might just kill me but I'll take that chance

Clocks tick

Days end

Nights pass

My friend, I wanna share them with you

Bold claim

Light laugh

Strange trees

Dirt path

I wanna walk it with you

Days tick

Days end

Days pass

My friend, I wanna share them with you

Bold claim

Light laugh

Dark trees

No path

Will you hold me as I turn cold and blue?

Stories like these never last long

But while I've the chance I'll sing a new song

I'll take your hand and lead you to dance

It might just kill me, but I'll take that chance

Though it'll kill me, it's worth one last dance

The Artist

Who gave me these bright eyes?

Who gave me this wide smile?

You, that was you

Who gave me the time of day?

Who always gave me my way?

You, that was you

And now you'll never see what you built

Now you'll never see what you killed

Now you'll never see me dancing in the rain

Now you'll never see what came true

Growing from these parts of you

Now you'll never see me

Laughing through the pain

Your pain

Who gave me this tiny life?

Who made me a hopeful wife?

You, that was you

Who never said goodbye?

Who'd I leave alone to die?

Oh God, that was you

And now you'll never see what you built

Now you'll never see what you killed

Now you'll never see me dancing in the rain

Now you'll never see what came true

Growing from these parts of you

Now you'll never see me

Laughing through the pain

Your pain

Your pain

Your pain

Forgive me if I don't cry

Forgive me if it takes some time

But something's shining bright

The future's green and blue and red and bustling and busy and beautiful and wide
