Slip Into Character - Sondre Lerche, The Silver Lake Chorus

Break that heart or cut it out

These wings are attached by threads

In this broken universe

You and I now have made our bed

Slip into character one final time

For you my love

Slip into something more uncomfortable

Than all of the above

Spare the conspiracies

And your wellbeing for the afterlife

Silence your phone

Turn out the lights

Let’s both stay in character tonight

Friends come up to me and say

That I’m glowing

I look happy just like them

If they knew the fragile truth

Would they wonder

Who I think I think I am?

Slip into character

One final time for you my love

Slip into something more predictable

Than all of the above

Spare the conspiracies

And my wellbeing for the afterlife

Silence your phone

Turn out the lights

Stay with me in character tonight

Convince me that you’ll be alright
