The Wonder

(album: Your Sparkling Death Cometh - 2011)

There's a circle of tangled wires
With an endless trail into bedrooms that connected them all
So you speak lies, speak your mind
But all these words can be dulled out with the pills they discovered

Pretend that I don't have a limit
Your body of glass and your fingers intwined stringed
They're behind your back
Can be seen

You have made a terrible plan
But I still can run
Shot across some distant outlet
Electrical lungs can't hold back a beautiful beat
That's coursing my veins
Cause my heart's a perfect wonder

Turning pages and signing paychecks
With a stack to heaven and back
It stands like a towering fear
While the signal just spins around us
An invisible tangling machine
With an ominous gear

You pretend that I don't have a future that you can destroy
With the touch of your hand on my hand
Like you don't have a promise that would be kept

So how can you reach me?
