lyrics
Am I just a vacation
From your sad occupation
Some cheap consolation
For your tragic plastic queen
Cause you act like it's your duty
To rip right through me
But I've still got beauty
In places you've never seen
So just let me say
That I want to stay
Just for today
Then I won't stand in your way
Just let me play
Then send me away
First, let me lay
In your darker shade of grey
Your words are like fire
They long to inspire
But they're walking the wire
Between truth and fallacy
And I long to retire
I ache to expire
But you take me higher
Than any sky I've ever seen
Just let me say
That I want to stay
Just for today
Then I won't stand in your way
Just let me play
Then send me away
First, let me fade
To your darker shade of grey
