Makeshift Harmony

(album: In Stasis - 2022)

The water's brimming with sin
As she moves gracefully in
But something sinister lives
Behind the porcelain skin

The remedy in her eyes
Hides all the poison inside
And though I try to pretend
I'd let it take me again

Swaying back and forth so carelessly
I'd let it last forever
Come to find I'm dancing with your white lies

Consuming every step I take, the cyclone rages on
Caught in your current, I mistake a vulture for a swan

You mirror every motion like we're one in the same
But truthfully I wanted someone to blame
For every glance I thought was innocent
And every siren song I can't resist

I know we don't belong
No right to love, when love is wrong
My tempo slows, and starts to crawl
Your rhythm marches on

Swaying back and forth so carelessly
I'd let it last forever
Come to find I'm dancing with your white lies
Serenading makeshift harmony
Won't put us back together
Still I'll take my chances with your white lies

Your flow, so intricate
Cascades over my regret
And now it lulls me to sleep
Pulling me into the deep

Follow you to the edge
Where I begin my descent
Just like the breaks and bends
I will never see the end

Lies

Swaying back and forth so carelessly
I'd let it last forever
Come to find I'm dancing with your white lies
Serenading makeshift harmony
Won't put us back together
Still I'll take my chances with your white lies

Lies
White lies
Lies
White lies
