Summertime

Has crystallized

Ice blurring glass window panes

Tantalized

Hypnotized

"You're happy, you're happy," they say.

Try hard as I may

Think I'm losing my mind

I'm afraid.

Nauseated isolation

The ballroom was flooded by crowds

And all their mesmerized

Eagle eyes

Watched me collapse to the ground.

Under all of the haze

And their gaze

I just needed a place

To lie down.

So, I'm not leaving the house today

I've run out of words I can say

Now, nowhere feels safe anymore

I'm calling in sick to the rest of this year

Nothing you see here is as it appears

I had hopes but I don't think I can go on with the show.

Foul play at the cabaret

Our bodies were covered in chills

Helter skelter

In gold decan'ters

Was melting the floor where it spilled.

Let's all raise a toast

To the things we love the most

Turning to smoke.

So, I'm not leaving the house today

I've run out of words I can say

Now, nowhere feels safe anymore

I'm calling in sick to the rest of this year

Nothing you see here is as it appears

I had hopes but I don't think I can go on with the show.

And if I had the chance

I'd start over again

Back to where we began

I'd start over again.

I'm not leaving the house today.

I'm calling in sick to the rest of this year

Nothing you see here is as it appears

You can all go back home

Don't think I can go on with the show.

And if I had the chance

I'd start over again

I'd forgive and forget

And start over again.
