Bilingual
I learned to be a human from behind the one-way glass
Perfect class
I never had to touch a thing, just give a tap
Watched you living life so fast while I stayed sat
I couldn't tell you which side the trap was
Only that I always followed after
Only that I lived for your reaction
Only that you kept changing the password
What I wouldn't do for you to let me be the answer
In the darkroom, I develop
Oh, the chemicals will work if I just let them
In the red, I look like the devil
I'd do anything to get onto your level
I like the dark, it's the way that I feel
I like the smoke, it's the way that I heal
I like to sit back and pretend
I never met you, but it doesn't feel real
I'm still carrying the faces that you couldn't conceal
There's a before and after you splitting my years
How does it feel to be a Christlike figure?
Guess you figured
Guess you knew exactly what it meant
You got the picture
Guess that's what you saw in me
You needed someone sicker
In the darkroom, I develop
Oh, the chemicals will work if I just let them
In the red, I look like the devil
I'd do anything to get onto your level
I kept it pushing when you pulled away
I kept it moving when you couldn't find the words to say
I kept every piece of the life that you imprinted
There was nothing left of me
I'm still bleeding out all your ink
And I don't want you back, there is no back
I'm still here
You turned the corner, I hold your place like a dog ear
I want to warn her the child that I was that year you met me
I reach for myself and come back empty
In the darkroom, I develop
Oh, the chemicals will work if I just let them
In the red, I look like the devil
I'd do anything to get onto your level
Every evening, I'm no better
I am shrinking just to capture your impression
You look clearer in my edit
I am proof of all the light inside the negative
