Faded Shrine Synthpop Lies

Lyrics

(Look at you standing there, so clean and clear.) A moment frozen from another year. The mantel holds you like a sacred shrine, A lie we crafted from a grand design. (The edges turning yellow, curling slow,) Just like the promises of long ago. You're fading fast into a ghostly gray, And I just watch the colors bleed away. The dust settles heavy on the frame. I'm forgetting the sound of your name. The sun burned right through the lie. And left me with nothing but this digital sky! This faded photo is a ghost in the room! A monument of love that died too soon! The smiles are bleach and the eyes are all gone! I'm smashing the glass and I'm moving on! Yeah, I'm smashing the glass! And I'm moving on! (I remember the day that was taken.) A promise that now is forsaken. The ocean was blue, and the air it was sweet, Now it's just bitter ashes under my feet. (The colors are gone, but the outlines remain.) A perfect blueprint of all of my pain. I'm tired of looking at what we could be, Through this twisted and distorted reality. This faded photo is a ghost in the room! A monument of love that died too soon! The smiles are bleach and the eyes are all gone! I'm smashing the glass and I'm moving on! Yeah, I'm smashing the glass! And I'm moving on! (Fading away...) (To gray...) It's just dust on the mantel now.
