I honestly think this is the best thing I've ever written.
It will make you feel better
If we keep ourselves together
And don’t show emotion in the least
If we dress up and walk the streets
Our memories crunch under our feet
This is everything you dreamed it’d be
We’re the black and white actors
Who played happy for the cameras
To distract the depressed workers
When jobs were gone, times were rough
Their single joy to watch on screens
While their families starve and freeze
Two children play romance at dusk
Fading faster as the credits show up
We’ve been hiding out intents
In these dark theaters
We hide our hearts, we play suspense
But I can’t help but fear
The light has gone with your self respect
As the curtains close
We resign to separate beds
And with this secret that you told
I fear that you put us to rest
The tall dark and handsome on the screen
Had other plans that aren’t quite through
Remember, just because you two don’t speak
Doesn’t mean he isn’t watching you
It will make you feel better
If we keep ourselves together
And don’t show emotion in the least
If we dress up and walk the streets
Our memories crunch under our feet
This is everything you dreamed it’d be
We’re the black and white actors
Who played happy for the cameras
To distract the depressed workers
When jobs were gone, times were rough
Their single joy to watch on screens
While their families starve and freeze
Two children play romance at dusk
Fading faster as the credits show up
We’ve been hiding out intents
In these dark theaters
We hide our hearts, we play suspense
But I can’t help but fear
The light has gone with your self respect
As the curtains close
We resign to separate beds
And with this secret that you told
I fear that you put us to rest
The tall dark and handsome on the screen
Had other plans that aren’t quite through
Remember, just because you two don’t speak
Doesn’t mean he isn’t watching you
