pictures of no one

<sub>pictures of no one
pictures of you
glitter and photons
littered with proof

that youre not the man you thought you were,
and youve never been
willfully forgetting what youve learned
leaving everything

dont go back to the same skin
it never fit

t-vision dream shirts
in technicolor
leaving instructions
only you can follow

and youre not the man you used to be,
and youve never been
what i thought was pictures of me
was another man

dont go back to your old ways
they dont exist
dont ask your old friends
they dont know the half of it

oooh ooh ooh ooh
ahhh, ahh, ahh, ahh
oooh ooh ooh ooh
ahhh, ahh, ahh

why you want me to stay in the same frame of mind
for the rest of time
while youre hiding away under safelights
break my face in
then say im fine

pictures of no one
speaking to you
feeling emotions
you dont want to

and im not the man that i see
looking back at me
damn reflections that shouldnt be
flashing over me

and im not the man i wanna be
well not yet, at least
what i thought was pictures of me
was my enemy

dont go back to memories that you once escaped
stay away
dont look back at what you fought so hard to leave

oooh ooh ooh ooh
ahhh, ahh, ahh, ahh
oooh ooh ooh ooh
ahhh, ahh, ahh

im not willing to stay in the same frame of mind
for the rest of time
lying pictures of me that i didnt take
showing no one, and nothing left in me

i been slipping away since the first grade
in silence, no one said a thing
finding pictures of me in the ashtray
everything i hate is gonna burn away

im not willing to stay in the same frame of mind
for the rest of time
lying pictures of me that i didnt take
showing no one, and nothing left in me

i been slipping away since the first grade
in silence, no one said a thing
finding pictures of me in the ashtray
everything i hate is gonna burn away

its gonna burn
its gonna burn away
its gonna burn
its gonna burn away</sub>
