The Revisionist
the sway and swell
flee with her motion
red-gold across my arms
the vicious strokes i painted
a river fills your heart
i’m sorry if i let you down
i know just how you feel tonight
this is never what you wanted
i was searching for myself
in other people’s eyes
the mirror’s telling half truths
the stolen words finally feel like mine
swollen and sweating
off time
i can see it in your eyes
an ocean floods my heart
i’m sorry that i let you down
you know just how i feel tonight
this is everything i wanted
you’ve been searching for yourself
in other people’s eyes
the revisionist
never gets it perfect
never gets it perfect
the revisionist
never gets you perfect
never gets you perfect
