Lyrics

Pedestal

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

To put me on a pedestal

Treat me like the shallow fool I am

I spun around a crowded room

I never heard a single word you said

Put me on a pedestal

Treat me like the shallow fool I am

I'm caught between the moon and sun

Underneath your every move I am, always

Don't wash away

Don't wash away again

Don't wash away again

Tell me that I'm not the cause

Tell me that I'm everything to you (to you)

This feeling everyday it swells

As I try to breath, I try to yell for you (for you)

I'm living through a broken heart

Underneath your every spell I am

So put me on a pedestal

Treat me like the sorry fool I am, always

Don't wash away

Don't wash away again

Don't wash away again

The silence between you and I

I look for the strength in myself

I know it's the truth

But you burn me out

You leave me dry

Drown my fears

Blow my mind

You leave me so

I fool myself

The silence between you and I

I look for the strength in myself

I know it's the truth in your eyes

I know it's this scene that I cannot stand

I'm falling further

From this murmur

Falling through strange things

I've not heard of

Now I should be

I should be there instead

I'm falling further

From this murder

Falling through strange things

I've not heard of

Now I should be

I should be there instead

And you burn me out

You leave me dry

Drown my fears

Blow my mind

You leave me so

I fool myself

The silence between you and I

I look for the strength in myself

I know it's the truth in your eyes

I know it's this scene that I cannot stand
