lyrics

She's the sceptic that longs to be susceptible
But rests her faith in doubt.

He's the hermit that longs to be approachable,
But can't quite leave his house.

She's the portrait that longs to be collectable,
But hangs on office walls.

All the signs that seemed to give directions, all
have somehow led to falls.

I'm the coffee cup, caked up in residue,
my insides turned murky brown.

Years of content have taken their toll, where
lipstick left violet crowns.

We long to last in a life that's disposable,
to leave a mark on something.

But I'm the temporary, longing to be permanent,
where all ends long to begin.
