Royalty from Alexithymia by Quinn Oulton

I can see your house from here
Feels like half a mile
The city air has never seemed so clear

I've been standing here for years
But only now the broken blinds
Fluorescent lights
May never reappear

Is it fear I should be feeling?
Should I feel uneasy?
Made you wade in fully dressed

And that evening never ended
That's what we pretended
Time suspended

Like royalty we'd never leave
Fulfilling our own fantasy
Cos ignorance is bliss
And that's what this is

Yeah, the months they slip away
Who'd have thought being stuck inside could feel like a holiday?

And we're walking every day
Gives you time to figure out what it is I'm trying to say

Can't believe I've never done this
Thinking I'm above this
No I just couldn't free it

Gonna take my time to write this
Far from a perfectionist
But you know when I don't see it

Reality is make believe
At least that's how it seems to me
Cos ignorance is bliss
And that's what this is
