Flash in the pan.

lyrics

If you want everyone to love you
You want to be seen
Everything you govern
Hides a secret being

If you want someone to hate you
Or covet your routine
Every slip you cover
Becomes more obscene

There's a certain taste to lies
It lingers on the tongue
I can't quite figure why
In all the songs I sung

There's a little price to pay
It weighs upon the mind
It grows bigger every day
That you can't leave it behind

When you open up
When you take it in
You can't get close enough
You can't feel the sin
But it's always there my love
Right beside you love
It's never ever enough
But holds you like a kin

If you want to feel the friction
(Friction)
Rub against your skin
You pray the benediction
For the battles you can't win

When the war is finally over
With diminishing returns
You'll become a lover
Cuz you can always learn

There's a certain je ne sais quoi
That hangs in the air
When you obsess over every flaw
But pretend to not care

There's a little price you pay
It weighs upon the soul
It grows darker every day
That you can't let it go

When you open up
When you take it in
You can't get close enough
You can't feel the sin
But it's always there my love
Right beside you love
It's never ever enough
But holds you like a kin
