VERSE ONE:
i bruised my skin, let the doors go unhinged
the mirror told me my body was misshapen
so i became nameless, i followed my shadow
into the unknown, and came back a warrior of my own country
i call it my body
they're not like us;
we're replaying time in a time-stopping game
we're biding time in the lion's cave
PRE-CHORUS ONE:
time is heavy when held in soft hands
i come alone and i mean well
how come latecomers are never welcomed?
how come justice is never served?
how come my faith runs around in circles?
how can i see you when you're invisible?
CHORUS:
what if i told you we live in a limitless age
you can do anything you like with it
would you believe me then?
alice in wonderland
what if i told you, your dreams can come true
if only we hadn't ruled them out as impossible
since when did we stop believing in miracles?
VERSE TWO:
these words i'm speaking have lost their meaning
someday, love will be confused with hate
emotions screaming, i've left them leaking
for far too long
like an alarm, it goes off
i remember how i put out the fire
but it started back up again
by these so-called firefighters
wrong and righteous
PRE-CHORUS TWO:
it never gets old, the truths i bring forth
i enter a portal with gods and mortals
i have loved what i couldn't have
i have loved things whole
i have loved half-heartedly
and i have loved by force
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
i've hidden my face but not my true self
you grew up secluded from your true self,
like you're two different people, different personas
but i was still the music with no one listening
i've been seen running through terrorist warnings
the world is falling like i predicted
i heard my calling, i lost my footing
hid my body where no one can look for it
(CHORUS)
