Surround me with your mimicry and float me to the sky
And like a mirror I'll reflect the world within my eye
As colors fill the black and white, extremities are gone
Replaced by all the shades I've seen while traveling along
The thoughts I breathe provide the air upon which I have sailed
The very ones I verbalized, the ones that I exhaled
My head is light and in a daze I contemplate the past
The moments that have led to this and whether I would last
Outnumbered by the reasons why and things I can't explain
My tongue begins to atrophy, my body's sick with pain
In choking I release a cough that empties out my chest
And slowly I am hollowed out by what I had repressed

Surround me with your mimicry and float me to the sky
And like a mirror I'll reflect the world within my eye
As colors fill the black and white, extremities are gone
Replaced by all the shades I've seen while traveling along
The thoughts I breathe provide the air upon which I have sailed
The very ones I verbalized, the ones that I exhaled
My head is light and in a daze I contemplate the past
The moments that have led to this and whether I would last
Outnumbered by the reasons why and things I can't explain
My tongue begins to atrophy, my body's sick with pain
In choking I release a cough that empties out my chest
And slowly I am hollowed out by what I had repressed
