"Pantomime" lyrics

You peeled an orange that wasn't there
Ate it slow, like you didn't care
If I believed you or not at all
"Forget it isn't there," you said "that's all"

I watched your hands move through the air
Watched you swallow somethin' made of nothin'
I laughed, but my chest went quiet
Like I'd just watched you disappear a little

It's a pantomime you made me believe
In somethin' that was never there
Empty hands, and I still feel it everywhere
It's a pantomime, and I'm lost in the air

And maybe that's all I am to you
Somethin' you imagine into bein'
Somethin' you can make disappear
As easy as you made it appear

Now every room I walk into
I check if somebody's holdin' fruit
You said just forget it exists
And I forgot, I forgot, I forgot

It's a pantomime you made me believe
In somethin' that was never there
Empty hands, and I still feel it everywhere
It's a pantomime, and I'm lost in the air

The trick was never the orange
The trick was watchin' me want it
You took nothin' and made it somethin'
Then you left, and took the nothin' with you

It's a pantomime you made me believe
Now I can't tell what's real, what isn't
Empty hands, and I still feel it everywhere
It's a pantomime and I'm still in it
