They cleaned the blood off the stage While pretending it was glitter They see ghosts nearly their age Yet still wonder why lights flicker Is it their fault they don’t fade? Their presence just gets bigger And if you're close, you hear them say They want to become singers (Oh) All the warnings written on the wall They foresee the cause of their downfall Fractures of industry I built success with my melancholy It resonates with me Leaves me with nothing but myself only (Oh) when you trust someone to write your story (Oh) but they take away all of your glory Last night I saw a little girl Standing in the corner She whispered in my ear As the air got colder It ain’t her fault, she can’t fade Her presence just gets bigger She's getting old, it's such a shame She used to be a singer (Oh) All the warnings written on the wall They foresee the cause of their downfall Fractures of industry I built success with my melancholy It resonates with me Leaves me with nothing but myself only (Oh) when you trust someone to write your story (Oh) but they take away all of your glory I don't know if I'm out of my mind But I have tried it a million times There's nothing wrong yet nothing right with me now It's marigold, maybe a little white It's a glowing hope when all the lights are out There's nothing wrong yet nothing right with me now Fractures of industry I built success with my melancholy It resonates with me Leaves me with nothing but myself only (Oh) when you trust someone to write your story (Oh) but they take away all of your glory
