Lyrics
Make Believe
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.
They took everything you are
Wrapped it in a box, locked it with a key
Made of high rise stucco walls
Polyester guards, moving metal sink
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hurt with curtain rod swords, the shields of cardboard that you will steal
Eyes on the cul-de-sac to get things back on track, bring you what you need
You would do the same for me
But I might have lost my mind!
I can never show you what you gave to me
A shape before, a make believe
I wouldn't want to stay here in my incomplete
Shaken up realities
I’ll give everything I’ve got to fill the canyon with useless debris
From plastic foliage, collected catalogs, and other
I would sentence everyone over 21 to the guillotine
Stay, you never understood our neck of the woods and what it all means
This is not a game for me
But I might have lost my mind!
I can never show you what you gave to me
A shape before, a make believe
I wouldn't like to stay here in my incomplete
Shaken up realities, shaking up reality!
You would do the same for me
But I might have lost my mind!
I can never show you what you gave to me
A shape before, a make believe
I wouldn't like to stay here in my incomplete
Shaken up realities!
I'd really like to be there when you raise for me
A shaping born of make believe
I wish I could just warn you what my death will be
Shaken up realities, shaking up reality!
