lyrics

And you can change the world into anything you want
…and you don’t
Just don’t lose your mind when you’re staring really hard
…oh so hard
I can’t be breathing in all this foreign air
Or I’ll end up as a pawn
Connected to the imaginings of men
I know I’m not the only one

All at once I let the mirror slip away
…without fear
All at once I knew it was the longest day
…of the year
It’ll take a long time for me to talk to you
For that which I hold tight is gone
This shattered glass: I am a splintered man
I know I’m not the only one

What face compels you to soar I do not know the words
…but you do
What lights your way to the still and wonder of your smile
…is it real
For if the sky is clear and the flowers are in bloom
The heat they get is from the sun
But the first sign of frost will curl and dry the leaves
I know I’m not the only one

And you can change your life into anything you want
…and you won’t
Just don’t lose the time when you’re staring really hard
…oh so hard
You can’t be breathing in all this foreign air
Or you’ll end up as a pawn
Connected to the imaginings of men
I know I’m not the only one
