Memory Castles – Flicker

Swallow my instincts, the shakes will subside
A boy in my position, it ain’t worth a try
My thoughts are now tangled, come untie what’s left
And know that you’re worth it, I’m not wasting my breath
My lips are now leaking the words I can’t hold
I can’t take the consequences of the truth so now behold

Chorus

There goes my life: Flicker then gone
Like a flame in the night
Silence not worth this cost
I keep my mouth shut too long
And you might as well just say I’ve lost

Verse 2

?
anymore, you can’t take me for that
A fool has said, “Maybe girl, I’ll give you that”
I try to impress you, you’re slightly amused
I don’t wanna hеar you politely refuse
My hеart is now nagging me, “Go make a move”
These moments are fleeting, my ego’s too bruised
The prettiest girl to enter the room
I don’t mean to gush, hell I don’t mean to swoon

Chorus

There goes my life: Flicker then gone
Like a flame in the night
Silence not worth this cost
I keep my mouth shut too long
And you might as well just say I’ve lost

There goes my life: Flicker then gone
Like a flame in the night
My hand’s no longer tied
I may not be half the man I wish I were
But you make me feel alright

Bridge

There goes my life: Flicker then gone
Like a flame in the night
Silence not worth this cost
I keep my mouth shut too long
And you might as well just say I’ve lost

There goes my life: Flicker then gone
Like a flame in the night
My hand’s no longer tied
I may not be half the man I wish I were
But you make me feel alright
