Sitting in a park, the sky used to be pink at this time of day.
Now it's all gone dark, and this ache in my memory just won't go away.
I can't say I'm surprised,
I've always had a horridness in my eyes.
But, right here, right now,
This ship is going down.

Like some twisted fairytale, there's no sugar coating this,
My heaven decayed to hell, what kind of man wastes a wish?
A wish to be something, to have someone, to find home somewhere,
I can't because I'm scared.
I can't fall in love again, for the hills I'll run,
With my name in block capitals, there's a jet,
I hope you know you'll always be my only one,
But for now, all you'll see is my silhouette.

Flight or fight,
Will you run towards the bomb or away?
Do or die,
Are you in regret tomorrow or proactive today?
So, maybe fate and fortune will grant this coward clarity,
Or maybe I'll continue to be marred, tainted by this version of me.

Like some twisted fairytale, there's no sugar coating this,
My heaven decayed to hell, what kind of man wastes a wish?
A wish to be something, to have someone, to find home somewhere,
I can't because I'm scared.
I can't fall in love again, for the hills I'll run,
With my name in block capitals, there's a jet,
I hope you know you'll always be my only one,
But for now, all you'll see is my silhouette.

With continents and oceans dividing us,
I finally feel free enough to give you my trust.
But perhaps it's too late and all this was, was lust,
I don't know, I'm not sure, onwards and up.

Like some twisted fairytale, there's no sugar coating this,

With my name in block capitals, there's a jet,
I hope you know you'll always be my only one,
