Halloween Lyrics

In the quiet of this morning

The scars that are still forming

Stare back in the mirror

Awaiting a reply

An invite or a warning

Depending on who's asking

Choose your own adventure

Conjure up a new disguise

Let's pretend it's Halloween today

Or that we're characters in some play

Making our own costumes

Trying new names on for size

Wearing masks and running lines

While waiting for a cue

In stitches, thread, and glue

The effects are temporary

Flowing tributaries

Never reach the ocean

But get us close enough

To fill up hearts like bottled fairies

At the brink till the save me

Save me

Let's pretend it's Halloween today

Or that we're characters in some play

Making our own costumes

Trying new names on for size

Wearing masks and running lines

While waiting for a cue

In stitches, thread, and glue

The costumes on and looking good

For another day in the neighborhood

Walk outside past the front door

Take one more step than the time before

Down the street, then up on stage

Block the steps until they turn the page

Line by line we all follow along

Weeding out the words that don't belong

The spotlight's on, the world has turned

Rewrite the scene then recite the words

The spotlight's on, the world has turned

Rewrite the scene and recite the words

Let's pretend it's Halloween today
