Colder Quicker Lyrics - Singles - Real Friends

[Verse 1] 

I've got more complaints 

More than pleasant trees to save 

Every monument is idle and rearranged 

Every figure that has ever held importance in my life 

I find nobody is who I pictured them to be 

[Chorus] 

My hands are numb because it's getting colder quicker 

I need more warmth than I provide 

If only my skin were thicker 

I wouldn't feel the need to hide 

[Verse 2] 

I see the faces in reflections of the past 

I feel so close but I can't reach through the glass 

My life burns out and flickers like the end of a cigarette 

I'm nothing like they pictured me to be 

[Chorus] 

My hands are numb because it's getting colder quicker 

I need more warmth than I provide 

If only my skin were thicker 

I wouldn't feel the need to hide 

I feel it eat my insides, I'm paralyzed with guilt 

If only your skin were thinner 

I wouldn't feel the need to hide 

[Bridge] 

I see the light in your eyes 

Turn the blind eye (Turn the blind) 

"Why are you hurting me" she screamed from her death bed 

Look at me, I'm trying to say 

I haven't been slipping away 

Look at me, I'm trying to say 

I haven't been slipping away 

I'm nothing like they pictured me to be 

[Chorus] 

My hands are numb because it's getting colder quicker 

I need more warmth than I provide 

If only my skin were thicker 

I wouldn't feel the need to hide 

I feel it eat my insides, I'm paralyzed with guilt 

If only your skin were thinner 

I wouldn't feel the need to hide
