Mirror Bride

This is a macabre comedy. Bride is a recurring theme... I can imagine this delusion being real. Can't you? [Verse 1] I sewed you together from a silver frame From a dish and a candle flame Pressed my thumb in your wrist bone And called you bride from a paper gown You waited quietly in the corner chair Face white as lace, hair combed back with care I talked for hours in that darkened hall You stared like you didn't know me at all [Pre-Chorus] Then your hand grew cold Cold as glass I blinked once And you were goneI I reached for you You shattered in two a ghost, hollow eyes staring into the abyss [Chorus] Mirror bride, mirror bride You were never by my side Mirror bride, mirror bride I fell in love with a lie Sweet little lie Sweet little lie Now I sing your name at night [Verse 2] They stripped me of my watch and shoestrings too "Said son, that girl was never good to you" Now the walls hum white where your skirts used to sway And I keep count of the days that I haven't stayed My tray turns cold at half past three I trace the shape of your face on the window One nurse told me to sleep One told me to behave But I can hear your heels in the stairway cage [Pre-Chorus] Still your eyes haunt my bed Like sickly moons stuck inside my headI know what I 've done I know what I cost But every day sings what I lost [Chorus] Mirror bride, mirror bride You were never by my side Mirror bride, mirror bride I fell in love with a lie Sweet little lie Sweet little lie Now I sing your name at night [Bridge] If I close my eyes, then you're there again Stitched up in satin in the pouring metal rain You kiss my cheek and disappear into mist And suddenly, the room turns to dust. Tell them I'm fine Tell them I'm fine I just can't tell Them who's real And who's put on a show If you loved me Come back to me And get me the fuck out of here [Final Chorus] Mirror bride, mirror bride You were never by my side Mirror bride, mirror bride I fell in love with a lie Sweet little lie Sweet little lie Now I sing your name at night Mirror bride, mirror bride Don't leave me here to rot inside Mirror bride, mirror bride I see you when I close my eyes Sweet little lie Sweet little lie Now I sing your name at night

Justified

2w ago00:04:32Tap to summarize

I want to take the ride Clarified It's not about time I press my brow to the window of doubt The city hums while my heart figures it out Footsteps echo choices I can't rewind I breathe the dark and leave the map behind The edge feels lonely but it's mine to know The silence answers questions I can't show Now you go to the depths of sorrow Now you go where the night won't borrow Elation competing for the glory Spinning truth into a brand new story Now you go, now you go, don't close your eyes Justified and clarified beneath these skies Some roads are rivers that demand the leap Some promises we make are ours to keep Time isn't measuring the worth of cries It's the courage in the way you rise The fear and longing braid into a rope I climb with trembling hands and stubborn hope Now you go to the depths of sorrow Now you go where the night won't borrow Elation competing for the glory Spinning truth into a brand new story Now you go, now you go, don't close your eyes Justified and clarified beneath these skies Between the ache and dawn there's a thin light Calling every fractured piece to fight When sorrow sings, elation answers through Two tides collide and wash the old away Now you go to the depths of sorrow Now you go where the night won't borrow Elation competing for the glory Spinning truth into a brand new story Now you go, now you go, don't close your eyes Justified and clarified beneath these skies Justified I wanted to take the ride Clarified It's not about time

Desert Course

3w ago00:03:50Tap to summarize

[Intro] Finding the trade route, I set my own course, No borrowed compass, no borrowed source. [Verse 1] Across the desert, I keep my own pace, No outside hand, no borrowed place. I stand alone, but I don’t lose my voice, No crowd to carry me, I still make my choice. I read the stars like a map in my hands, No borrowed law, no borrowed lands. [Chorus] If they call it wrong, I call it mine, I keep my shape beyond their line. No time to bend, no need to hide, I carry my name like a blade at my side. I am not who they think they see, I move by truth, and it moves through me. [Verse 2] They want a version that fits their frame, A neat little mask with a softer name. But I was done with the split in two, Done with the script they wrote for you. I know what you say can sound true But that design was never real So I step past the fence, past the line they drew, And let my own pulse tell me what to do. [Bridge] Time out, out of time, No tomorrow on this line. I will take them, I will break them, I will forget, I will forge ahead in directions you may never guess. [Chorus] If they call it wrong, I call it mine, I keep my shape beyond their line. No time to bend, no need to hide, I carry my name like a blade at my side. I am not who they think they see, I move by truth, and it moves through me. [Outro] Finding the trade route, I set my own course, I leave no shadow of an outside source.

Whatever Your Secret Is

3w ago00:04:41Tap to summarize

[Intro] I thought I was alone and then I met her, she was warm like the sunlight in the afternoon I pledged to be real We both understood that day like a reflection [Verse] It's when you lie you fail it all when you're not true you let them dictate your current mind they seem unkind [Chorus] Whatever your secret is it diverges Through knowledge Not fables They know about you they see you [Verse] No running no hidden phrases spoken backwards but you know what it says No more repeating you spoke indignation What you said was sublimation [Prechorus] It's the fault of others don't accept their terms, You are split like me You are many not one Come back to me [Chorus] Whatever your secret is it diverges Through knowledge Not fables They know about you they see you [Break Down] Wayward child Gone to the wayside and ignored Disappeared and followed through ruins of society thriving on sickness melting of minds justice fleeting [Prechorus] Tell me your secret is no contention I won't harm you I won't displace you your ego is a good look on you escape the tide get in stride in destiny abide [Extended Chorus] Whatever your secret is multiple times Desperate lives Whatever your secret is I will stand with you Through knowledge Not fables They know about you they see you [Outtro -- with chorus in the background] I am a mirror You are loved I am a survivor I see twenty You see one I am many Fragments Glimpses Walk Run Fly. Whatever your secret is solved through divergence Through knowledge Not approval They know about you They see you Whatever your secret is you can tell me Whatever your secret is Between you and me Whatever your secret is They don't understand They won't need to Whatever your secret is Whatever your secret is remains with you return to me
