Fake Non-Fiction/Salt & Liquor

No one ever said they wanted help
But you could save me from myself
Why can’t colors mix when it’s cold?
Cause when it’s hot I mix with you
I never thought you’d want to trade faces
Sitting in silence like a candle with no wick
Running out of air inside this box
Pieces come together before my eyes
Follow me anywhere that I go
You’re the only fiction I know
I never thought you’d want to trade faces
Sitting in silence like a candle with no wick
Sundress in the winter
Spread on the couch like butter
A fool in my eyes but a crown in the mirror
Double laced up Converse
And ripped around the seams
Far from what I’ve ever seen
Red roses aren’t what they seem
Those thorns grow thicker every day
Give in and give your hate a rest
Lose love and lose what life has to give
Tattoos on her ankle
A sun and a moon bring balance
But toss the waves around with every passing minute
Folded in her posture
How could she breathe like that?
A lighter flicks and you can see the flames in her eyes
Red roses aren’t what they seem
Those thorns grow thicker every day
Give in and give your hate a rest
Lose love and lose what life has to give
Frozen for the winter
And the summer never fixed her
Can you see the shine or sparkle in the sunlight?
Paint a bigger picture
See the stars above it flicker
And just look away
Red roses aren’t what they seem
Those thorns grow thicker every day
Give in and give your hate a rest
Lose love and lose what life has to give
