Candy Camouflage

Chorus

Polka dots and plastic rings

I hide the heavy under pretty things

Rainbow stripes and candy lace

Can’t find a flicker on my sugar face

Strawberry gloss and pastel blues

Nobody notices the purple bruise

Of every word you didn’t say

I just smile and keep the gray away

Verse 1

Sticker on my eyelid keeps the vision blurry

Handmade bracelet for the way I worry

Bright yellow socks

High-waisted corduroy

Playing with my keys like a plastic toy

I bought a vintage camera just to frame the mess

Floral pattern pinned against a velvet dress

Pre-Chorus

Everything is shiny

Everything is gold

At least that’s the story

That everybody’s told

Chorus

Polka dots and plastic rings

I hide the heavy under pretty things

Rainbow stripes and candy lace

Can’t find a flicker on my sugar face

Strawberry gloss and pastel blues

Nobody notices the purple bruise

Of every word you didn’t say

I just smile and keep the gray away

Verse 2

I’m a technicolor riot in a silent room

Bright pink garden hiding all the gloom

Checkered vans

Clips in my hair

Wonder if anyone is actually there

Talking to my shadows in a bright orange light

Sparkle on the surface while I lose the fight

Pre-Chorus

Everything is shiny

Everything is gold

At least that’s the story

That everybody’s told

Chorus

Polka dots and plastic rings

I hide the heavy under pretty things

Rainbow stripes and candy lace

Can’t find a flicker on my sugar face

Strawberry gloss and pastel blues

Nobody notices the purple bruise

Of every word you didn’t say

I just smile and keep the gray away

Drop

Sugar face

Keep the gray away
