Éphémère - Scarlet

We drove down to the coast
I don't know why we faked it
Even when we got close
Somehow we never made it
Let's put our weapons down
And memorize our faces
The waves are closing in
Determined to erase us
We wanted so much more
Roaming these plains in vain, yeah
Let's leave this lustless shore
And stake another claim, we'll
Take back what's yours and mine
We'll break the bank together
A race against our time
A bet against the weather

Where're we gonna go from here
When the night sky has turned scarlet
And the road has disappeared?

Give me that precious fix
Yeah something to get high on
With all the strain eclipsed
We'll find a way to shine on
Let's get it in our blood
You know I will believe in
The ghost we've conjured up
The gospel of deceit, we'll
Discard the here and now
Invent a better story
Enter the secret show
Conquer new territory
Let's bend the envelope
Muss up the judges' scores, and
Laugh out before we choke
Blueprint our au-revoirs then

Can we ever trust our eyes
When our nights are full of phantoms
And our days have lost the light?

It's a disconnect from our loyalties
Disconnect from all we've been, a
Disconnect in the way we feel, we
Disconnect and lose all meaning
Tell me - are we better of now?

We drove down to the coast
I don't know why we faked it
Even when we got close
Somehow we never made it
Let's put our weapons down
And memorize our faces
The waves are closing in
Determined to erase us
