The Revisionist

The sway and swell

Fill you with her motion

Red gold across my arms

The vicious strokes I painted



A river fills your heart

I'm sorry if I let you down

I know just how you feel tonight

This is never what you wanted

I've been searching for myself

In other people's eyes



The mirror is telling half-truths

These stolen words finally feel like mine

Swollen and sweating, off-time

I can see it in your eyes



An ocean floods my heart

I'm sorry that I let you down

You know just how I feel tonight

This is everything I wanted

You've been searching for yourself

In other people's eyes



The revisionist never gets it perfect

Never gets you perfect

The revisionist never gets it perfect

Never gets you perfect

The time is never ripe

The words are never right

The time is never ripe

The words are never right
