Cigarette Through Polystyrene
Farse Lyrics

The local kids wont say whispered words tonight,
The children in the area are not speaking in hushed tones tonight.

Encoraging and loud they stick together in a fight,
They are likely demonstrating their show of unity by being boisterously loud together in a fight.

Because that's the way it is, like how it's always been,
This is the normal circumstance, the way it has always been.

Doorstep mecca, don't tell them what they're missing,
The area is a popular destination for the local kids to socialize on the steps of a particular house. It's best not to do or say anything that would make them feel like they are missing out on anything.

Sling around your neck and there's a hangman by your future,
Having something hanging around your neck is like a metaphorical noose, foreshadowing the end of something in your future.

Lowering yourself you wipe the floor and then they've used you,
If you lower yourself and act in a subservient manner, the local kids will take advantage of you and use you.

You'll knock a sip back, end with a sigh, roll one, ember,
You will take a drink, let out a breath, roll a cigarette, and light it with an ember.

Cigarettes through polystyrene.
The smoke from the cigarettes can be seen going through polystyrene.

You walked into that room
When you first entered the room

And it was you and me, a silence,
There was a moment of wordless interaction between just the two of us.

Everyone else glued,
Everyone else continued to remain distracted and focused on whatever they were engaged in.

But it seems some split onto my eyelids,
Something caused my eyes to tear up or get puffy.

Because when i see you a past is forgot,
When I look at you, it's easy to forget about my past.

Luke warm water,
The water temperature is only slightly warmer than room temperature.

Ill bathe then rip it all off again.
I'll take a bath and then start anew.

All in good time, a dreamer forsees you and i,
Everything will happen in the appropriate time. A dreamer sees good things for you and me.

With crushing waves that drown us,
Despite the difficulties, we will persevere and push through.

This time were going to drown in spite.
Despite the odds, we will still be victorious.

You talk i just assumed it was the drink i smelt On your lips,
I thought I detected the smell of alcohol on your breath when you were talking.

Echoes fall the broom so pass it here I'll sweep the Debris.
The echoes of the things that the broom is sweeping up can be heard. Pass the broom to me and I'll help sweep up the mess.

A look to disguise, enchanted but vacant,
You're trying to disguise how you really feel, appearing to be captivated but hollow at the same time.

Not one alibi, i freeze then melt,
I don't have any excuses, so I get nervous and then relaxed.

Because it seems i made a mistake that i cannot Rectify.
I made a mistake that cannot be corrected.

Have your cake then eat it,
You want to have all the benefits without putting in the effort.

None was left so swallow pride,
I had no other options and had to accept the situation with less pride than I would have liked.

Looking at a headstone from above began to cry,
Looking at a grave marker from above caused me to break down and cry.

Speak through gritted teeth for such a waste of life.
It's frustrating and infuriating to think about how much life has been wasted.

You held the wool and i sowed my lips up tight,
You kept me distracted while I remained silent and kept my thoughts to myself.

Your like audrey, you're so beautiful tonight.
You are stunningly beautiful tonight, like Audrey Hepburn.
