Flicker

Chorus

I built a city in my head

Filled it up and left it empty

I built a city in my head

You were never gonna stay

Verse 1

Sunrise cracks across the blinds

I rehearse a softer voice

Every mirror tells me twice

Nothing here is really mine

Pre-Chorus

And I know I sound dramatic

I know that I always do

But the quiet keeps on asking

Who is answering for you

Chorus

I built a city in my head

Filled it up and left it empty

I built a city in my head

You were never gonna stay

Drop

Flicker flicker in my skull

Nothing ever feels that dull

Flicker flicker in my skull

Watch me make it beautiful

Verse 2

Bitter candy on my tongue

Sweet enough to ruin teeth

Someone laughs and I laugh too

Perfect pitch in perfect grief

Pre-Chorus

And I know I sound dramatic

I know that I always do

But the quiet keeps on asking

Who is answering for you

Chorus

I built a city in my head

Filled it up and left it empty

I built a city in my head

You were never gonna stay

Bridge

Pick the pieces pick the pace

Paint the panic on my face

Say it softer say it plain

I will break it all the same

Chorus

I built a city in my head

Filled it up and left it empty

I built a city in my head

You were never gonna stay
