You confess you think you let your life pass
Watching sand slippin' down an hourglass
But there is never gonna be a right time to make a move
You've got to roll with the river, if you're craving the coast
Because life is just a current, we're all learning to float
While shadows tie our crooked limbs to ropes
I've been starin' at the skyline
And I'm studying the blues
While my skin is disappearin'
I'm painting pictures with my microphone
By spilling vowels at the right tones
While puppet strings pull the muscles wrapped around my throat
I find it hard sometimes to become myself
Well I'm dancin' in the idle eyes of everyone else
They keep me tongue-tied (tongue-tied, tongue-tied...)
I've been starin' at the skyline
And I'm studying the blues
While my skin is disappearing
And there's nothing you can do
I've been starin' at the twilight
Are you staring at it too?
While your skin is disappearing
And there's nothing you can do
