lyrics

What words can change
When you're missing parts
When the ground shakes
And you're running in place

Without a name
It'll melt away
For heaven's sake
Don't you know your lines

Yellow laces growing from the ground
Meet the eyelets floating down the walls
Stomping faces staring back at me
I was falling for 100 years

Tattered clothes with rips and tears
And the spotlight shines brightly on your future years
There are missing instructions so you'll never know
It's opposite day so you'll never know

Turns to grey
In the swirling lines
And mirrored shapes
Fall flat in time

Shattered trees shedding in the cold
Resting silently on the dirty sheets
Open eyes reaching violently
In anticipation as the parts collide

Strings tied tightly to your hands and feet
Buried in knots but you're still asleep
Trapped on the vine but it never falls
The ground here is quiet but it never falls
