Lyrics
Tiny faded crisscross but not on my own say
And I'm pouring my guts into my own brain
Cuz that's my realest friend these days
And it feels more than I could
Make space for in this saturated fate
I'm looking at the night sky
And the moon's staring back at me
His synchronizing phases with the tide
Had me believing that our soul shared a flame
But then I saw his face hiding in the clouds
Covering up your horizon
You'd bury me in everyday
I wish there was a way to unroll these
Snake eyes with nine sides
I juggle in my pocket
While you keep me locked in
Threaded eye sockets
I already see through every stitch
You knitted in your kitchen
With lies on top for accent
It's a pretty touch but it's not enough
To make a difference
All your facets keep knifing out
Like ragged tactics
Ornamented in a clever message
But I'm ahead of it now I expect it
A dream in a dream
Where you hid away your key
And the mirror's telling you more
Than it's telling me
There's a decaying contract
In a church full of mouse traps
With windows eating every hue
The skyline needs
A dream in a dream
Where you hid away your key
And the mirror's telling you more
Than it's telling me
There's a decaying contract
In a church full of mouse traps
With windows eating every hue
The skyline needs
Superstition compass pointing out all the stages
You're craving an encore from a grave
Testing how much it'll take to
Rehearse a soul with a new clock
Lying to yourself that it's the same
Pages ripped out and revised
While you try to control time
And twist the fate then
Scribble out your name
You're only living for a game of cards
The king of hearts
A hare that knew it from the start
With pride on his face
Watching the ouroboros snake
The endless race
Fourth at the gate
You always find a way
To vandalize the finish line
It blows my mind
The way it took this long
For me to realize the person underneath
Everything you fabricated
Was a stranger
A dream in a dream
Where you hid away your key
And the mirror's telling you more
Than it's telling me
There's a decaying contract
In a church full of mouse traps
With windows eating every hue
The skyline needs
A dream in a dream
Where you hid away your key
And the mirror's telling you more
Than it's telling me
There's a decaying contract
In a church full of mouse traps
With windows eating every hue
The skyline needs
The way it took this long
For me to realize the person underneath
Everything you fabricated
Was a stranger
The way it took this long
For me to realize the person underneath
Everything you fabricated
Was a stranger
The way it took this long
For me to realize the person underneath
Everything you fabricated
