lyrics

I watched you run, I watched you fall down
I heard that rumbling tumble sound
I watched you try to act like it ain’t there
But smoke and mirrors, it don't disappear

You cannot just flip off switch
This is not some kind of magic trick

I watched do you hide it deep within yourself
I heard you say you that jumped when you fell
You died your hair from pink to jet black
I watched you paint over all of the cracks

You cannot just flip off switch
This is not some kind of magic trick

It comes harsh in waves and then it goes
The fabric gets too stiff to fold
Dripping words of authors from your lips
Saying that it's insignificant
How can you start burying again
First a million 1 and then a million 10
How can you keep turning your back
I watched you paint over all of the cracks
