lyrics

Break the glass and set this body free
For the ghosts that live inside of me
Father, father, what's your explanation?
Tell me what you wear that ring for
Won't you tell me what happens when I die
Bury me at sea, bury me at sea
Father, father, what's your explanation?
Tell me what you think we're all here for

Photons, reflect your light waves back at me
Lungs and arms and eyes in symmetry
My lips part opposite your beauty mark
Mirror, mirror, please correct me
Water, refract the words from my mouth
Bend the truth or smother any sound
My lips part right before the best part
Mirror, mirror, please contain me

We ran into the devil, we fell into his maze
We ran into the devil, now we'll run for days
Get these rivets in my brain
Mesh these gears to start the blood flow
I am under cardiac arrest
Cannonballs and chains weigh down my chest

I like my body when it is with your body
Align our spines and cross these capillary wires

Stop my heart, please restart

My heart is on the right side
It pumps blood into my mind
My left brain campaigns against evolutionary indifference
My heart is on the right side
It pumps blood into my eyes
Oh, X-ray machine if you can see inside of me you would not believe
