What Makes Me

Who do you see when you close your eyes?
Is that a part of me or part of the disguise?
Ecstatic moments reduced to this
Is it a remedy or is it the abyss?
We knew the danger we rose above
And for a second we were avatars of love
We came very close, and yet not very far
Could we ever be more than an avatar?
Avatar of love

We picked our poisons, composed ourselves
Embodying the passions wasting on our shelves
All that excitement, long bottled up
Our insides poured into a flooded paper cup
We fit the moment just like a glove
And for an instance became avatars of love
We came very close, and yet not very far (very far)
Frozen in our history as avatars
Avatars of love
Avatars, avatars of love

Release the pigeons, release the doves
It doesn't matter what you call it, it's not love
We came very close, and yet not very far (very far)
We're not even fit to be an avatar
Avatar, avatar, avatar of love

So who are we, lost in the stars?
We're only flesh and smoke and mirrors from afar
This little trigger, a glitch in time
A song to tip the scale as we turn on a dime
Play all of folklore and all of blue
Play half of evermore and all of down to you
Play sunset village, play multitudes
Play every take on in a sentimental mood
Águas de março: Waters of March
Any translation, key, or read from any chart
Play Sherlock holmes, play sacrifice
Play at the river and then smoke gets in your eyes
Play watertown, I'll be in tears
Slip into character performed by britney spears
Play every time and then sex kills
And then may later by the talented blake mills
Play I'll come too by jimmy blake
A case of you in any tapping you can take
Now play the kiss by judee sill
Play Jesus' blood, play lady day sings you're my thrill
Play left alone or omen 3
If you could see me now by chet or peggy lee
Play signs by drake or signs by snoop
Play every single damn disintegration loop

Then play our song before we pause
It's now the saddest little song there ever was
We came very close, close
Play it for pete and polly, too
Play it for anyone who fell in love with you
We came very close, and yet not very far (very far)
Who are we in real life if not avatars?

But who were those two kissing underneath the stars?
Avatars of love
Avatars, avatars of love
Of love
Of love
