[rev. June 21, 2021]

You had a shadow cabinet
To which you would retire
And all the voices in your head
Would gather 'round and I

I would find it strange to be on the outside
Where you couldn't see me
And you wouldn't show

I had a royal temple that
That harboured a recluse
And all the ghosts that haunted me
Would gather 'round and you

You find it strange to be on the outside
Where you couldn't see me
And I wouldn't show

We had a perfect alibi (watching arrows that)
And they would never know (fall around us)
That all our ghosts surrounded us (looks like our deep)
As if it's just a show (deception found us)

You and I would spend our time
Saying everything was fine
And we never showed

Sometimes I wonder
Did we ever have an adult conversation
Such a shame we couldn't even agree
On the right location

Hidden behind a wall
A fortress that won't fall
You never heard my call

What's the use in us pretending
There could be a happy ending here

What's the use in us just pretending
There could ever be a happy ending
