Inside a mind that wasn't mine
I somehow came to realize
That where I took my thoughts before
Would never matter anymore
The roads I paved had disappeared
And deemed me faulty engineer
Disgraced the pace, upon my face
She saw the wall and did not wait
Suppose I'd tell you what to say
You used to ask me every day
And when I'd talk you'd tune your ears
Then cover up in salty tears
The sea would claim the life you lost
Return to you the latter lot
You held it close so many times
And claimed the right to reconcile
Yet here we are in subs and pars
Collected into mason jars
I'll shatter you, you'll shatter me
Our fragile state will set us free

Inside a mind that wasn't mine
I somehow came to realize
That where I took my thoughts before
Would never matter anymore
The roads I paved had disappeared
And deemed me faulty engineer
Disgraced the pace, upon my face

Suppose I'd tell you what to say
You used to ask me every day
And when I'd talk you'd tune your ears
Then cover up in salty tears
The sea would claim the life you lost
Return to you the latter lot
You held it close so many times
And claimed the right to reconcile
Yet here we are in subs and pars
Collected into mason jars
I'll shatter you, you'll shatter me
Our fragile state will set us free
