lyrics

Faces on glass
We were looking to gain
You hoped it'd be different
But sort of the same

We're arcing the bend
We were shining on dark plain
You hoped it'd be different
Wax without wane

We careen in
Layers papery thin
Gold foiled
All fire and oxygen

Backlit and burnin
it's silvery spin
unspoiled hearts in tin

Faces on glass
We saw everything float
You hoped it'd be different but
They told you so...

We're reaching the end
And they're waiting for you
We're arcing the bend
