distances – parlour tricks lyrics

[verse one]
nothing lasts forever, it’s all just cheap tricks
built up as the pillars but fragile like sticks
my mother always told me the lessons they’d forget
as cracks form in the porcelain the weakness takes over
familiar faces strike the match and drop it onto
paper mache lives, it felt so right at the time
there’s whispers in the neighbourhood
they’re slowly picking sides
the children sit there wondering what else there is to hide

[chorus]
a ring upon a finger can only hold it together so long
a sober heart can wander if tested over time
the strongest soul can fall apart and leave it all behind

[verse two]
they’re taking down the portraits and rearranging lives
saving face, the saving grace, the children wonder: why?
they’re pulled in each direction and nothing feels right
at the end of all their tethers, they’re far too tired to fight
they’re listening for arguments with words like broken gl-ss
everything feels tainted tonight
my mother always told me the lessons they’d forget
in paper mache lives, it always felt so right at the time

[chorus]
a ring upon a finger can only hold it together so long
a sober heart can wander if tested over time
the strongest soul can fall apart and leave it all behind

[bridge]
(indistinguishable talk)
secrets travel quickly, like embers from a fire
it’s quiet in suburbia with ears pressed to the ground
don’t think they don’t notice
when you slowly cross the street
they wanna see a meltdown
like they watch on the tv
pulling at the sutures, does it feel like it’s worthwhile?
the cameras always rolling, try your best to smile

[chorus]
a ring upon a finger can only hold it together so long
a sober heart can wander if tested over time
the strongest soul can fall apart and leave it all behind
