Zero State 05:27
Slip out as the dawn begins to break silently your footsteps start to fade away light begins to creep in through the shade the chill of night begins to dissipate somewhere in the morning lies a breath the fresh, the new, the undiscovered scent the birds begin to call across the pavement waking up the world with all their songs and all their arguments The memory, it gets to me, it sinks into my skin It’s asking me so tenderly if I could let you in and if I do, then what of you becomes a part of me? when all I want to be is extraordinary Cover up the weakness in my head sink into the sheets upon my bed sing a lullaby that doesn’t end I could fall asleep with your defence keep my body wrapped up in your arms the shadows couldn’t do me any harm if I get distracted by you please don’t be alarmed I’m searching for the subtleties of all your breathless charm I would rather like it if you didn’t disappear just keep on caressing me like you still need me here I could lie and beg you for the things that I still need but if we’re being honest I just want you to protect me

Do you live where all the houses look the same? Do all the neighbours know your name? Are you the best that ever was, or is trouble more your cause? Do all the houses look the same? Do you drive an SUV? And is it safe enough for me? I’m just a child of 21, so take me out, we’ll have some fun In the backseat just you and me There are secrets in the walls And toxins in the pavement They’re seeping into water, into air And you breathe it all in There are hopes beneath the houses And love between the cars Hidden like the memories Of who and what you are Do you live where all the kids can run and play? Do you think they’ll all be safe? Are they sheltered from the world, do you think they’ve even heard Of what the streets outside can say? Do you live inside a house, or in a home? Is this a place you’d call your own? Or are you dying to get out, see what reality’s about Is this the only place you’ve ever known? There are secrets in the walls And toxins in the pavement They’re seeping into water, into air And you breathe it all in There are hopes beneath the houses And love between the cars Hidden like the memories Of who and what you are

Where are the flaws, where are the cracks in your façade? Where are the scars that make you perfect, leave you clawed to pieces? Golden boys don’t always shine, you know Show me what’s behind the glow; golden boy, show me your soul Shimmer like the river, run below the water You are all that sparkles deep within Glitter like the marble painted like a stone You are all the gods would want to own Can I have all of you acquainted with my soul? Can I learn secrets deeper than those you have told? Can I show you there’s no need to be afraid? Perfection isn’t perfect anyways Glow like crimson sunsets, fade like rays of twilight You are all that sparkles deep within Shimmer like the teardrops you have never shown You are all the gods would want to own Can I have all of you acquainted with my soul? Can I learn secrets deeper than those you have told? Can I show you there’s no need to be afraid? Perfection isn’t perfect anyways I knew once I saw you, you were easy just to love But to understand your secrets is a gift from up above All I’ve done is write you questions in the form of broken song I can’t tell you how I’ve wanted just to ask you for so long Can I have all of you acquainted with my soul? Can I learn secrets deeper than those you have told? Can I show you there’s no need to be afraid? Perfection isn’t perfect anyways Where are the flaws, where are the cracks in your façade? Where are the scars that make you perfect, leave you clawed to pieces? Golden boys don’t always shine, you know Show me what’s behind the glow; golden boy, show me your soul
