lyrics

You make time and calculations, knowing when to smile, and how to shift your weight to hold a gaze,
But do these actions fall in line with all of your contradicting thoughts?
Depraved and violent paradox
Your unconscious observation
Misogynist repose, embedded long ago in wasted innocence
Her gaze meets yours, you smile; an unsettling facade, dissembling a plan you calculated all along

Try that girl on for size
She looks so lonely in the light of this room
Try that girl on for size
Well aware she won’t mean anything to you

From the apartment hallway, to the balcony ledge
Half-heresy to wish the skin relieved of grime and dust set in
Floorboards writhe under each step

Try that girl on for size
She looks so lonely in the light of this room
Try that girl on for size
Well aware she won’t mean anything to you
And after all, they’re just as empty as you tell yourself they are so what’s the harm in filling voids?
And all in all, you’ll waste away before the night has reached its end so shift your weight again
(Try that girl on for size
She looks so lonely in the light of this room
Try that girl on for size
Well aware she won’t mean anything to you)

When the sunlight creeps into the bedroom you’ll have grown cold
And no warmth from the body there could ever spare you from the icy hold on your heart
You invited loneliness in
Its gaze held by a smile and a shift

Try that girl on for size
She looks so lonely in the light of this room
Try that girl on for size
Well aware she won’t mean anything to you
And after all, they’re just as empty as you tell yourself they are so what’s the harm in filling voids?
And all in all, you’ll waste away before the night has reached its end so shift your weight again
(Try that girl on for size
She looks so lonely in the light of this room
Try that girl on for size
Well aware she won’t mean anything to you)
