lyrics

(rook)

there was a figure
beside my bed at night
i focused my eyes
and it didn't go away
there was a hole in me
i was just a child
i didn't know why everything
made me so afraid

(HEAVEN)

my stomach in a knot
lie down and talk to god
smell the sulfur and the dry ice
from the haunted house
church mouse in the pipes
run and hide
now they got my guts
and a feather on the scale
and they can’t decide
...
but if it all lines up
i’ll see you on the other side

(rook)

i feel the cracks in my agency
as i fall back through the years
and i am erased
there is nothing deep inside my soul
but i dream of being whole
the premonition of my evil thoughts
shines brighter than my dreams
i can't look away
there is nothing in my soul
but i dream of being whole

and everything was just an inch out of
alignment with the world i thought i knew
the distant nausea that i was lost somewhere
without assistance
without an exit

i
covered what i saw
with the expectations
of people i was not
glass forming in my stare
i didn't know how i could
have a sense of who i was
the distance grew every day
and i didn't care

(HEAVEN)

my stomach in a knot
lie down and talk to god
smell the sulfur and the dry ice
from the haunted house
church mouse in the pipes
run and hide
now they got my guts
and a feather on the scale
and they can’t decide

my stomach in a knot
lie down and talk to god
smell the sulfur and the dry ice
from the haunted house
church mouse in the pipes
run and hide
now they got my guts
and a feather on the scale
and they can’t decide
...
but if it all lines up
i’ll see you on the other side

(rook)

i feel the cracks in my agency
as i fall back through the years
and i am erased
there is nothing deep inside my soul
but i dream of being whole
the premonition of my evil thoughts
shines brighter than my dreams
i can't look away
there is nothing in my soul
but i dream of being whole

the glass in front of my eyes
covers everything
and i can't break it away
the glass in front of my eyes
covers everything
and i can't break it away

and everything was just an inch out of
alignment with the world i thought i knew
the distant nausea that i am lost somewhere
without assistance
without an exit

(HEAVEN)

my stomach in a knot
lie down and talk to god
smell the sulfur and the dry ice
from the haunted house
church mouse in the pipes
run and hide
now they got my guts
and a feather on the scale
and they can’t decide

(rook)

and everything was just an inch out of
alignment with the world i thought i knew
the distant nausea that i am lost behind
crystalline distance


(HEAVEN)

my stomach in a knot
lie down and talk to god
church mouse in the pipes
run and hide
now they got my guts
and a feather on the scale
and they can’t decide

my stomach in a knot
lie down and talk to god
church mouse in the pipes
run and hide
now they got my guts
and a feather on the scale
and they can’t decide

(rook)

i wish things could be so bright
but there's only deadened light
i can't see anything
through the glass that covers my life
i wish things could be so bright
but there's only deadened light
i can't see anything
through the glass that covers my life
