Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your eyes are lookin' glass to a world I already see
White, jet-black in the center, and wrapped in mahogany
Through you, I learn what it's like to be me
[Verse 2]
Mind unstable, forgets the unforgettable
Gently ripples of oxygen glide towards my chair
It hurts you when I say
It hurts you when I say, "I won't be there"
[Verse 3]
Leave on a little bit of clothes to keep you warm
I catch you open your eyes in time with mine
And all I can do is pray
'Cause you're bound to love all the people
You slowly fade away
[Verse 4]
And I've been sittin' by the fire, progressively feelin' higher
There's no limit to this day, yeah
I've been sittin' by the fire, progressively feelin' higher
There's no limit to this day
[Verse 5]
And it feels like I've been driftin' for, for a long time
And all of my world is swimmin'
And my skin don't feel this cold, cold, ooh
[Verse 6]
There's a little war up inside my head
And nothing has arrived to clear this mess
[Verse 7]
A brush of color frames the eyes that melt away
And clouded by excitement
Maybe here there'll be enlightenment
It hurts you when I say
It hurts you when I say, "I won't be there"
[Verse 8]
Suspiciously, I'm talkin' to me
(I'm talkin' to me, I'm talkin' to me)
I ask me a question sensibly
[Verse 9]
And all I can do is pray
'Cause you're bound to love all the people
You slowly fade away (You slowly slip away)
[Verse 10]
(It hurts you when I say, when I say)
[Verse 11]
I've been sittin' by the fire, progressively feelin' higher
There's no limit to this day, yeah
I've been sittin' by the fire, progressively feelin' higher
There's no limit to this day
[Verse 12]
And it feels like I've been driftin' for a long time
And all of my world is swimmin'
And my skin don't feel this cold, cold
[Verse 13]
Da-da, da-da-da, da, da-da-da
Da, da-da-da, da, da, da-da-da, da
Da, da-da-da, da, da-da-da, da, da-da-da
[Verse 14]
Da-da, da-da-da, da, da-da-da
Da, da-da-da, da, da, da-da-da, da
Da, da-da-da, da, da-da-da, da, da-da-da
Da, da-da-da, mmm-hmm
