Manic Pixie Dream Girl

Etch a sketch on your red laced socks
Drag your finger up
Your nuisance thoughts are driving
That coal charred gore painted crutch to run out of luck
Its bent ripped apart aesthetic
Scares most of those you love most
It's time you let go of your haunting ghosts
Meanwhile I'll just sit and smile
I'll wait in the style and fashion you've tamed me in

We're both ticking time bombs
Waiting for the kiss that sets the clockwork in motion
It's the emotion that sets our pointers alight
We're both ticking time bombs
Waiting for the kiss that sets the clockwork in motion
It's the emotion that sets our pointers alight

When I'm left alone with your eyes
I treat them to all my disguises
I hide my heart behind the size
Of all the damnation my pride's left
When I'm left alone with your smile
I treat it to one of my kindest lies
The deplorable sight of all the damnation my pride's left

It almost seems we like it
It's back and forth and all wrong
Errant and indecisive
A slap, a fall, a blink and I'm gone
Began to wear it out
Hook it to the stereo
Play the favourite song she loves
And never mind the staring because
We're both ticking time bombs
Waiting for ourselves

It's red and brown in two
Mangled in a harmony
Dissonant and entangled
I am you and you are me

We're both ticking time bombs
Waiting for the kiss that sets the clockwork in motion
It's the devotion that sets our pointers alight
When I'm left alone with your eyes
