Lyrics Ryan Amador – Pageant

Pause at the part where you lift up your hands and beg me for forgiveness
The icy chains that bind us into coinciding forces might begin to bend
And in that moment when the earth shuts down and all I see is you
I’ll learn the truth, and between your eyes I’ll justify your abuse

But we’ll keep our face and we’ll both pretend that we’re awake
We’ll hide the pain, in static smile we can’t escape
This is harder than I thought it would be
Oh it would be

I fought it when you lost the goal
Tried to turn it to something logical
You’re hiding behind our pageant and it’s time to stop the show
You took me for granted everyday
I tried to give you my heart but I got pain
Let lyrics be sideways truths while we beat around the bush

You throw me to the edge each time you get confused
Then I mask my skin when I tell you nothing’s bruised
The image is breaking, all the pieces fall
And in it’s place, I can’t feel you at all

Come prove me wrong
Come and show me what we’ve earned so long
It’s bigger and it’s strong and it’s fighting through the fog
This is harder, this is murder, and it’s making me wade
Come take the reigns

I fought it when you lost the goal
Tried to turn it to something logical
You’re hiding behind our pageant and it’s time to stop the show
You took me for granted everyday
I tried to give you my heart but I got pain
Let lyrics be sideways truths while we beat around the bush

Stuck feelings going down the drain and I start to feel like I’m going insane

I fought it when you lost the goal
Tried to turn it to something logic-
Behind our pageant and it’s time to stop the show
You took me for granted everyday
I tried to give you my heart-
Let lyrics be sideways truths while we beat around the bush

So burn it up
I won’t fall to my knees
You won’t lie to me
Make this easy darling, easy
So burn it up
Come and beg at my door
Be here when I need it most
Drown me in your comfort
