lyrics

All my life on a roll of film
I’m terrified of what you’ll see
Prepare the chemicals and drop me in
Cast lots and throw me into the sea

Considering the mess I’ve made, I’m quite hesitant
To chalk it up to character development
I shudder to think the shutter speed was quick to catch my flaws
This picture wasn’t perfect and you know I never was

All this will be brought to light
All I’ve done wrong and the little I’ve done right
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
How clearly I can see it all in hindsight

How clearly I can see it all in hindsight

All my life on a roll of film
Developed in this darkened room
Ribbons of negatives hang from above
You’ll see my failures all too soon

Considering the mess I’m in, I’m inclined to say
I wish I would’ve known I would be here someday
Attempting to explain away the dross that’s been disclosed
But the pictures do not lie, the truth has been exposed

Soon you’ll see I wasted my days
Thinking my identity was wrapped up in my name
Now I realize my toil was in vain
A life of living for myself is dying all the same

All this has been brought to light
Photographic evidence of a hopeless life
So blot out my transgressions and have mercy on my plight
Please take my film and bleach it white

Please take my film and bleach it white
