lyrics

Caught in the fog
Of a daydream
Another time
Caught in between
A distant gaze
Inspires dread
A tiny monster
Seeing red
Like dirty clothes
Let’s wash them clean
Unveiling what has been unseen
Let’s peer and gaze
Right through the veil
And catch the wind
And tip the scales

Looking in my rearview mirror
Everything’s so crystal clear
Tiny specks on the horizon
Burns bright like a tangerine run
All the things I’ve grown to fear
Pop up in the rearview mirror
Played out like another re-run
It’s never really that fun

Caught in the midst
Of a nightmare
Another time
Another scare
A screeching sound
Plays in my head
It’s building magic
Till it’s dead
Like fallen angels
In despair
That turned their backs
And didn’t care
Let’s burn these bridges
Till we find
Another place
Where we can hide

Looking in my rearview mirror
Everything’s so crystal clear
Tiny specks on the horizon
Burns bright like a tangerine run
All the things I’ve grown to fear
Pops up in the rearview mirror
Played out like another re-run
It’s never really that fun

Build it up
And tear it down
Till the walls
Come crashing down
Take the dagger
Kill the clown
Kings and Queens
Have lost their crowns
Burn the witch
And kill the pope
Kill them all
So you can cope
Set your sails
And wear a grin
Do it till you
Catch the wind
