letra de costume / jackie's song - space age dream boy

part one: costume

[verse one: jasper mctaggart]
there’s an everlasting feeling you can get from people watching
you learn how to live, and learn what to leave behind
you see the faces in the crowd living lives so perfect or flawed
you think, “where does that leave me and mine?”
it leaves you nowhere, you’re nothing like the other ones
and even if you were you’d be dealing with it better than them
but you can’t shake the feeling that they’re feeling more fulfilled
in their music taste and hair and face and sense of free will

[chorus: jasper mctaggart]
but everybody wears a costume
it’s the only way to escape from this miserable life
you can try and try to be seen as you are
but it’s easier just to lie

[verse two: jasper mctaggart]
there’s a feeling you get from watching your friends
succeed in all the things you’re supposed to be good at
letting them down, leading them on
then telling them off when they ask you what’s wrong
i’m just feeling so sad but i’ll be okay
i’m only human, it’s just another bad day
then the next day comes, and i can’t look them in the eyes
if only they knew everything i said was lie
[chorus: jasper mctaggart]
each day i put on my costume
it’s the only way to escape from this miserable life
you can try and try to be happy forever
but at the end of each day you just go home and cry

[verse three: jasper mctaggart]
there’s something to be said for leaving people on read
and saying goodbye to your life for a few days
to live in silence, no words, be on my own for a sec
only to pick up the phone again and see no messages sent
and my healing journey is the hardest one
they told me it’d be hard but i didn’t listen to them
i’m too afraid to tell the therapist anything
i’ve been so afraid of being judged it’s left its mark on me

[chorus: jasper mctaggart]
i can’t even tell my costume
apart from my own skin anymore
gather your wit, take a deep look inside
you will never be who they idolize

part two: jackie’s song

[chorus: jasper mctaggart]
what about the voice of poor jackie
the one locked inside her room
you almost let her out three times before
will she ever see the light of day
with your pink crop tops
and your high heeled shoes
and every style change
it really wouldn’t be news

if you walked into the closet
and out walked a girl
and she looked just like you
and you spoke just like her

what about the voice of poor jackie
the one locked inside her room
you almost let her out three times before
will she ever see the light of day

[verse four: jasper mctaggart, simona freed]
i’ve seen some things
that stayed the same
and i’ve stuck and stuck around
throughout all this change
but when everyone around me
means something new
i can never seem to tell myself apart from you

you’ve got a flat chest
and your hair’s undone
and you can’t build trust
and you always choose to run
away from the people
that love you the most
as if you’re some sort of criminal
or some sort of ghost
with your baggy sweatshirts
and your ugly skinny jeans
and your band t-shirts that are
ripping at the seams
it wouldn’t be a surprise
if you told them who you were
and you’ve been thinking of it
for more than four years prior

[chorus: jasper mctaggart & simona freed]
what about the voice of poor jackie
the one locked inside her room
you almost let her out three times before
will she ever see the light of day

with your pink crop tops
and your high heeled shoes
and every style change
it really wouldn’t be news

if you walked into the closet
and out walked a girl
and she looked just like you
and you spoke just like her

[outro: jasper mctaggart, simona freed]
let them in, jasper
let them in, jackie
let them in, jasper
let them in, jackie
