about
This track is about trying to preserve youth artificially. It was inspired by the movie "She Will", about an aging film star that travels to a remote area in Scotland where witch burnings happened many years in the past.
lyrics
A light coating of rust on a bright chrome exterior
Dazzled you touch sliding your fingers down
What's behind the facade
all we see is a pretty face
Reflecting what we desire
without substance without meaning
To be able to live without ghosts in your bed
To be able to live without ghosts
The surgeon's blade tries to erase time
Create a pretty display
Can't change what's inside
What's behind the facade
all we see is a pretty face
Reflecting what we desire
without substance without meaning
To be able to live without ghosts in your bed
To be able to live without ghosts
We all turn to dust
Can't get any simpler
Who do you trust
to be free or a prisoner
Instrumental
To be able to live without ghosts in your bed
To be able to live without ghosts
A light coating of rust
Dazzled you touch sliding your fingers down
What's behind the facade
all we see is a pretty face
Reflecting what we desire
without substance without meaning
To be able to live without ghosts in your bed
To be able to live without ghosts
The surgeon's blade tries to erase time
Create a pretty display
Can't change what's inside
What's behind the facade
all we see is a pretty face
Reflecting what we desire
without substance without meaning
To be able to live without ghosts in your bed
To be able to live without ghosts
We all turn to dust
Can't get any simpler
Who do you trust
to be free or a prisoner
Instrumental
To be able to live without ghosts in your bed
To be able to live without ghosts
A light coating of rust
