Lillian - The Dear Hunter

She was stuck in pictures

While he passed time in film

Oh silly fame, why do you play?

Frame by frame, day by day

With reels changing over

And dropping to the sides

Oh, solemn soul see where you are

And look to the sides what you discard

Press your lips to mine, breathe in deep and lie

When the cameras roll, hide away your soul

Flash your eyes, forge a smile, entertain

But don’t get stuck in something you hate

Bring me the eyes of the earth

Cut off the tongue of the world

Keep the ends close in sight to the means that imply

You’re not living the life that you’re worth

Pressing your lips to mine, breathe in deep and lie

When the cameras roll, hide away your soul

Flashing your eyes to sell, lying to yourself

Dodging truth form the start, hide away your heart

Turn around forge a smile entertain

But don’t get stuck in something painful

Something worse than nothing

We could have been smart

With the plot from the start

Mistakes from the spark

We knew it wasn’t love

Breathe in deep and lie

When the cameras roll

Hide away your soul

Flash your eyes, forge a smile, entertain
