Fiction
Peach Pyramid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you talk to me
Your words stop at your teeth
Where the silence shapes the bleak
Salt water on my cheeks
I'm sinking in the sheets
Reflecting on the unsaid
I just might
Forecast a future fight
Expecting stormy weather
So I'm dressed up right.
Oh fiction, hold me down
Tell me that I'm out of bounds
It's quiet in the house
I guess I'm talking to myself
I accept defeat
Fill my glass up next to me
Listen as the traffic speaks
On the corner of my street
Tell me why
I instigate goodbyes
It's not that I feel lonely
It's 'cause you're dressed up right.
Slow down
We can go slow now
Just slow down
We can go slow now
Oh fiction, hold me down
Tell me that I'm out of bounds
It's quiet in the house
I guess I'm talking to myself.
