lyrics
I think I let it slip
Maybe I let things slide
So was just a look?
Or a suggestion in my eyes?
Parapraxis
I shouldn’t look so surprised
I left the windows to my soul
All open wide
I’m just a bad actor
I’m really fucking up my lines
And my words could tell you one thing
But my face reveals the lies
I thought I had this, I need more practice
Parapraxis
I guess the cat’s out of the bag
And there’s no putting him back in
All my dirty little secrets
All but paper thin
I guess I can’t pretend
I didn’t mean to let you in
Was it a trembling in my voice
Or a slip of my pen?
I thought I had you fooled
I thought I had me fooled too
But your reflection was disarming
In the mirror of my view
So don’t you look at me
Through the wrong side of the lens
When the writing on the wall
Is coming to an end
With a period
Where a question mark
Would probably make more sense
I’m so elastic, yeah I’ll just bounce back
But all the cheap tricks just felt like magic
I’m burning bridges, playing with matches
Parapraxis
I thought I had this…
