Music by Rainy Day Manual
Lyrics by Chris Faulkner

lyrics

We keep in touch, stay the same
Your chips all in but you don't know the game
It's what you want, it's your own pace
Your lips keep on moving with nothing to say.
You're easy come and easy go
Building a stage with nothing to show
Your camouflage is fading
and you don't match the person that I thought I used to know.

You can't live this life if you don't have the fight in you.
So why do you hurry if you got no where to go?

Wake up and your mind's made up for you
Color doesn't hide your lonely heart breaking in two
Just how do you sleep with a kiss on your cheek?
And I don't think I could tell you anything
that you don't tell yourself everyday.

Blending in and never standing outside the line we draw
to underscore our doubt
Chameleon colors are bleeding through
Yellow and green with a slight hint of you.
Your easy come and easy go
Burning a bridge to what you call home
Your camouflage is fading
and you don't match the person that I thought I used to know.

You don't forget it, you don't believe it
cause your eyes won't see what your hands don't feel.
Now and then you feel like a mirage
but your camouflage won't hide your face from me
and everyone you know.

Wake up with your mind made up for you
Color doesn't hide your lonely heart breaking in two
Just how do you sleep with a gun in your cheek?
And I don't think I could tell you anything
that you don't tell yourself everyday of your life.

Rainy Day Manual image

Rainy Day Manual Memphis

Forged in the fires of quixotic ambition; tempered in the ruthless grind of urban chagrin. The seed of Rainy Day Manual is germinated by one thought, "To make others happy, you must first make yourself happy."
