[Verse 1] Didn’t want the truth, Didn’t want the warning signs Kept it in the shallows, Never crossed the dotted lines Turn the mirror to the wall Let the colors bleed through If I close my eyes tight enough Maybe I won’t see you [Chorus] Call it comfort, call it fiction Call it anything but real Fade to silver in the distance Tell me what you want to feel Call it comfort, call it fiction Call it anything but true I’ll just watch the water rising— Just won’t dive in after you [Verse 2] Mistook your silence for a song Swallowed every practiced smile Ignore the shadows curling up Pretend it’s only for a while If denial is an art I’ve painted every view Brushstroke after brushstroke— All I see is you [Chorus] Call it comfort, call it fiction Call it anything but real Fade to silver in the distance Tell me what you want to feel Call it comfort, call it fiction Call it anything but true I’ll just watch the water rising— Just won’t dive in after you [Bridge] Blue on blue, it suits you well Perfect for the part you play Drown it out with empty shells And watch the world drift away [Chorus/Outro] Call it comfort, call it fiction Call it anything but real Fade to silver in the distance Tell me what you want to feel Call it comfort, call it fiction Call it anything but true I’ll just watch the water rising— Just won’t dive in after you
