Opaque Songtext
von eleventyseven

I wear every chapter of my history right here upon my shoulder
A helpless captain of some mystery my eyes already told you
You′ve seen the ending of the movie, there's nothing to authenticate
Can you see right through me? ′Cause there was nothing there in the first place

It's so obvious to the audience when I need another retake
What I wouldn't give to not be learning brand-new waves to make
Can I keep under cover when there′s no more cover to take?
What I wouldn′t give to be a little, a little more opaque


No matter how much I protest, I feel my carbon pressure failing
Would I even be reaching for this oxygen if my friends never made me?
All the self that I've been soothing, trying to domesticate
The effort I spent proving, there was nothing there in the first place

It′s so obvious to the audience when I need another retake
What I wouldn't give to not be learning brand-new waves to make
Can I keep under cover when there′s no more cover to take?
What I wouldn't give to be a little, a little more opaque

It′s so obvious to the audience when I need another retake
What I wouldn't give to not be learning brand-new waves to make
Can I keep under cover when there's no more cover to take?
What I wouldn′t give to be a little, a little more opaque
