Svalbard - Grayscale

Can't build a castle in your head
Then complain that nothing you see looks like it
Nothing ever looks like it.
This isn't what you want it to be
But nothing ever will be.
Can't draw an angel with your blood
Then complain that no one's ever good enough
That perfection isn't love.
It's never who you want it to be
But you'll always be betrayed by that desire and that dream.
Stop trying to convince yourself
That it will be worthwhile
Because you'll miss all the action
whilst you wait for better things to happen.
It's time to stop running away for a second
And stand still in the moment
Not every place you land
Will be quicksand.
It's time to stop dying inside for a second
Just remember all the moments
When every breath you took
was laughter.
To the truth I must surrender
It's not going to get any better
This is my resignation letter
To every little hope I fell for
Every brittle love I lied for
...That fool in me is dead.
That fool in me is dead
Desire no longer persists
Against this heartless kiss
That bites my tongue into bits.
If I've learned disillusion, why can't I apply it?
Every time that I mistake a passion for a life line
A lover for a lifetime
Fireworks for landmines.
You can figure out the answers and wrap them up in bitterness
But having cynicism makes no fucking difference
It will not protect you
From having your heart broken
From losing all your loved ones.
