There was a measure 

It was a pleasure 

Come the realisation 

There was a mirror 

Your sat with hand to chin 

Looking at them 


There was a measure 

With tunnel vision 

Comes the maturation 

Of that person

staring back at you

💙 The Miracle Syndicate — Faint Blue Smile

The rim of a chipped glass
Cuts a cold crescent into her thumb.
She doesn’t flinch —
Just watches the tram doors close on no one.

A grey coat soaks up rain,
But her face moves, rehearsed —
A faint blue smile stitched across
The ruins of a thought.

You see them, don’t you?
You see the watchers too?

And she grips, she holds
The stranger’s hand too long, too tight.
She grips, she holds
And wonders who’s holding whom tonight.

Behind every movement,
A shadow stirs awake.
Behind every signal,
The edge begins to shake.
Don’t trust the face,
Don’t trust the eyes —
The faint blue smile
Knows how to lie.

Empty café windows
Press reflections into skin.
Inside, a girl peels labels off a bottle;
Outside, she’s peeling her own grin.

And she grips, she holds
The doorframe like it’s her last.
She grips, she holds
But knows she’s fading fast.

Behind every movement,
A shadow stirs awake.
Behind every signal,
The edge begins to shake.
Don’t trust the face,
Don’t trust the eyes —
The faint blue smile
Knows how to lie.

I laugh with you but count the exits.
I smile at you but check the knives.
I dance with you but mark the door —
This is the heart of staying alive.

Do you see me now?

Faint Blue Smile

keep putting myself last for you
and I know you're gonna hate what i have to say

ive been practicing walking away 
but the passion tends to bubble up 
all the same

a memory 
a memory 
you're teasing me
forget it
i forgot how cute you could be

tremble when the tremble hits my brain
and i could feel you bady sway this way

a memory 
a memory 
your teasing me 
forget it
I forgot how cute you could be

been gone so long i cant recall your name
pretty sure this heart could hurt the way you say it

a memory 
a memory 
youre teasing me
forget it x3

i forgot how cute you could be x2

GET THT!
