Wind​-​Up Girl

from Taking Sides (album) by Court Hoang

/

lyrics

i was a no-brainer trapped inside a
well-don't-you-know, trying to go in too deep
never-you-mind passed me by and told me
i shouldn't care

honesty posed on the ground for me to
capture the sound, turn it around, and send it upward
all that i know now is i can't feel my feet: someone
picked me up and dragged me through the air until i cried

trying to buy patience from a broken
vending machine; oh-what-a-dream just laughed in silence
holding a transparent mirror to my face
seeing you

oh-what-a-chore asked me why i never
tried to pretend, knowing the end, well, why'd i bother
i said what i said to the face of someone strange
lied and cheated and the feeling didn't change until you cried
best wishes and a chance at fortune fading from inside
