Curtains - Veridian

Blessed with a window

Looking over a better place

(A view into a perfect life

Being sold a perfect life)

Let’s spend forever

Looking over another world

(I can’t avert my jealous eyes

I need to feel unsatisfied)

Lost

Flying past the blue, the green

I count the beautiful people, and wonder

Why can’t they be me?

I’m addicted to distractions lately

I can’t face this world on my own

I don’t want to see the world

I don’t want you to know

That I’m a joke

Paint sunsets on my curtains

And keep them closed

Cursed with a window

To escape to a better place

(I can live the perfect life

Vicariously through your eyes)

Let’s spend forever

Wishing we were in another world

(I can’t avert my jealous eyes

I’m buying into perfect lies)

Lost

In all the grey surrounding me

I count the beautiful people, and wonder

Why can’t they be me?

Coz I’m addicted to distractions lately

I can’t face this world on my own

I don’t want to see the world

I don’t want you to know

That I’m a joke

Paint sunsets on my curtains

And keep them closed

Beautiful people

Won’t teach you how to be happy

Beautiful people

I swear they only serve to

Harm you

Entice you

Entrap you

Entrance you

Expose you

And make you feel flawed

Coz I’m addicted to distractions lately

I can’t face this world on my own

I don’t want to see the world

I don’t want you to know

That I’m a joke

Paint sunsets on my curtains

And keep them closed
