Pathetic Charade Lyrics

palettes cascade
suffocating vacant grays
my imagination fades beneath the corner
avoidable decay
has left me questionably lame
i am shipping empty boxes to my neighbors
a trail of kerosene
i've lit a match unto this dream
falsely blinded by a hand that was my own
a smile faked and caught
a second guessing astronaut
i've underdressed for this occasion, they all know

open your freezer door
i've got a couple thoughts in store
i'm banking, yes, i'm banking on the past
open your freezer door
i've got a couple thoughts in store
i'm banking, yes, i'm banking on the path
to take me there

elastic strains
i'll play hide and seek halfway
will you knock twice when expecting something great?
my eyes complain
i've been hurrying too late
these bags were packed with neatly folded shame
my mind's been folded shut
give me a spoon i need to cut
an airway in this bag that's on my head
i'm sure they'd all agree
there's nothing here worth anything
will you shut the door? it's best to quarantine this

open your freezer door
i've got a couple thoughts to store
i'm banking, yes, i'm banking on myself
open your freezer door
i've got a couple thoughts to store
i'm banking, yes, i'm banking on myself
to take me there
