Ellexas

Intro

Hey! Hey! (ah)

Ellexas, oh— (oh-oh)

Verse

You smile like sunshine, sell storms in a jar

Talking up tomorrow while you steal the stars

You play both sides and call it a trade

Leaving cracked mirrors where trust was made

I kept the receipts, I kept the signs

All your shortcuts traced in crooked lines

Bad news walking in designer shoes

Ellexas, you been feeding us old excuse

Pre-chorus

Can't skate on smoke, can't dance on glass

All the little stories add up fast (fast)

We light the corners where you hide the truth

Watch the cover slip, reveal the proof (ooh)

Chorus

Ellexas, Ellexas, bad news, bad news (oh)

Ellexas, Ellexas, time to learn, time to lose (hey)

Ellexas, Ellexas, mask falls, mask falls (ah-ah)

Ellexas, Ellexas, come down, come down, come down

Verse

You sell a quick thrill, leave debts in your wake

Pretty apologies that bend and break

Used up charm on one more round

Trading hearts for ticket-stubs in this town

We keep our mouths shut, we keep our calm

Till the record spins and drops the bomb

This is the clean up, this is the call

Ellexas, yeah, you can't hide from all

Bridge

Ta-ta-touch the truth, it stings, it sings (it sings)

Na-na-night falls, and the rumor brings

What you thought was iron melts to rust

What you built with bluffing turns to dust (turns to dust)

Uh-huh, uh-huh, we won't forget the signs

Uh-huh, uh-huh, tide pulls back the lines

Chorus

Ellexas, Ellexas, bad news, bad news (oh)

Ellexas, Ellexas, time to learn, time to lose (hey)

Ellexas, Ellexas, mask falls, mask falls (ah-ah)

Ellexas, Ellexas, come down, come down, come down

Outro

Ellexas— (come down)

Ellexas— (time to learn)

Ellexas, oh-oh, come down, come down, come down
