Lyrics

Your perfume reminds him
Of a time when
Your eyes weren't wires
And your lashes weren't barbs

On his sleeve is where he
Keeps his heart,
But there's no love
With a broken arm

There's an onyx casket
Filled with sin
It's sealed with safety pins,
So you don't need to be

An escape artist
Paints himself safe
He runs from fear
But he ends up near

The well, filled
With life's mistakes
Oh well, they're the things that really
Make life great

There are pills to numb and
Medicines to kill
There are mountains constantly shaking,
They'll eventually be hills

Which contrary to popular belief,
Is not as bad as it seems

An escape artist
Paints himself safe
He runs from fear
But he ends up near

The well, filled
With all life's mistakes
Oh well, they're what put the silver in the clouds,
To replace the gray
