Veridian - Curtains Lyrics

Blessed with a window,
Looking over a better place,
(A view into a perfect life,
Being sold a perfect life)
Let's spend forever
Looking over another world
(I can't avert my jealous eyes
I need to feel unsatisfied).

Lost,
Flying past the blue, the green
I count the beautiful people, and wonder,
Why can't they be me?

I'm addicted to distractions lately
I can't face this world on my own
I don't want to see the world
I don't want you to know,
That I'm a joke.
Paint sunsets on my curtains
And keep them closed.

Cursed with a window,
To escape to a better place.
(I can live the perfect life,
Vicariously through your eyes).
Let's spend forever,
wishing we were in another world.
(I can't avert my jealous eyes,
I'm buying into perfect lies).
Lost,
In all the grey surrounding me.
I count the beautiful people, and wonder,
Why can't they be me?

Coz I'm addicted to distractions lately
I can't face this world on my own
I don't want to see the world
I don't want you to know,
That I'm a joke.
Paint sunsets on my curtains
And keep them closed.

Beautiful people
Won't teach you how to be happy.
Beautiful people
I swear they only serve to
Harm you
Entice you
Entrap you
Entrance you
Expose you
And make you feel flawed.

Coz I'm addicted to distractions lately
I can't face this world on my own
I don't want to see the world
I don't want you to know,
That I'm a joke.
Paint sunsets on my curtains
And keep them closed.
