Glitter (June 5, 2010)

I’ve got glitter all over my arm
Lights in my eyes and shiny dancing stars
Angels stargazing on a cloudy night
Color-coded clothes and a diamond studded bite
Spinning circles around a new friend
Made up like a movie where you leave before the end
There’s an angel laughing up at me
Blinded by the silence I fall back to my knees

Cause I have learned to notice every word
And not to trust until I’ve tried
Nothing’s real, no neon lights
And I’ll never lose my fight

I’ve got a peace sign tattooed on my wrist
Music in the background with flats and minor fifths
Monsters are smiling no one cries in fear
I’m a happy loser, how did I end up here?
I’ve got an angel catching my eye
Maybe if I’m lucky he will teach me to fly
His wings with glitter taste so sweet
Wonder in the real world if we would ever meet

Cause I have learned to notice every word
And not to trust until I’ve tried
Nothing’s real, no neon lights
And I’ll never lose my fight

I’ve got my angel and tattoos I’ll regret
Glitter on my face and lipstick on his neck
It’s already fading, bruises still remain
Not sure what I lost but I know I didn’t gain.

Cause I have learned to notice every word
And not to trust until I’ve tried
Nothing’s real, no neon lights
I want to remember tonight
