‎pretty lies and time machines

Water is frozen on the window's ledge
The one in the kitchen with the spider web
The reflection I see is just a shadow of me at best

When the lights go out, my thoughts get loud
Like a midnight picket protest, I cannot wrestle them down
So I wait up to see, what it's all about

It's all pretty lies and time machines
It's all bitter truths and flying things
It's what I let go that still holds on to me
It's all what you said and what it means

I can still see you there, in the booth by the stairs
We talked 'til our words ran out
They kicked us out, we didn't care
All the cracks on the wall, I remember it all

It's all pretty lies and time machines
It's all bitter truths and flying things
It's what I let go that still holds on to me
It's all what you said and what it means

It's all, it's all, it's all, it's all
It's all pretty lies and time machines
Wishing life was like a movie scene
Holding on to what used to be
To what you said and what it might mean
