Curtains Close

from Onto the Floor by Rose Cora Perry

/

lyrics

V1: It’s easy to be so young and naïve
It’s easy to see all things as you want to see
It’s easy to need what you want to be
So damn easy

Prechorus: But when that mindset starts to shatter
Everything you thought becomes so scattered
You’ll find yourself at odds with those you love and trust
You’ll find yourself at odds with your own self

Chorus: Tell me, what am I fighting for?
When all the things of which I was sure
Are nothing more than dreams
I tell ya it’s heartbreaking

Sweet innocence was pure
I wish that there was a cure
For growing up, and growing old
And learning truths…I wish I was never told

V2: It’s easy to love before they break your heart
It’s easy to think there’s a plan from the start
It’s easy to live your life without a care
Too damn easy

Prechorus: And when that mindset starts to unwind
You want nothing more than just to crawl inside
Erase the knowledge that led to your own self-destruct
Erase the memory of childhood things

Outro: Tell me why don’t you see when you look at me?
Tell me why don’t you feel when you’re touching me?
You say that you hear, but are you listening?
You say that you care, but you’re still giving in

Tell me why don’t you taste when you’re experiencing?
Tell me why don’t you breathe if you are living?
You say that you’re real, but all the symptoms show
The lights are out, your story ends when the curtains close
