lyrics

They say the cold reaches only one
And that cold is an unloving friend
But they say being holed up with an artificial sun
Will bring you to your end

But cake on the makeup
and hold on while you can
Take my problems
and forsake them to the island

Hold my hand up
Push my heart down
With the weight of the things that you throw around
Soak in regrets
Drown in your ball gown
With the weight of the things that you throw around

They say that warmth is the kinder one
and that warmth will only come to those who need it
They say your ego is your second son
And that fame will only come to those who feed it

So melt in the second hand carpet
That you got from your mother
And wade in the waters
Just go on and trust one another

Hold my hand up
Push my heart down
With the weight of the things that you throw around
Soak in regrets
Drown in your ball gown
With the weight of the things that you throw around

She's going down and she knows it
I'll get her a bouquet of roses
I'll give her a way out
And she will give me a way in
I will stand at the corner
Just waiting for the wind
And it will come

So fake every feeling
Pretend that you never lost yourself
Hold on to what you know
But give up on everything else
