I met a mirror in a velvet room
It whispered secrets with a crooked smile
Neon veins under the desert moon
I lost my name for a little while
Candles breathing on the floor
Time is bending like a broken spoon
I knock three times on the inner door
Something answers way too soon
Take me down, take me slow
Through the fire, through the glow
I don’t care where the river goes
Just don’t wake me when it knows
Liquid light on my tongue
Every sound has a shape
The walls are singing ancient songs
While I’m trying to escape
Angels dancing in my shoes
Serpents laughing in my head
I shake hands with something blue
That promises what’s never said
Take me down, take me slow
Through the fever, through the cold
I don’t mind if I get lost
I just hate the final cost
There’s a man inside my chest
He says
Everything is open
Everything is now
You can taste the universe
But you’ll have to come down
Purple hours, silver skin
I dissolve and I begin
Every truth is paper-thin
When the morning crawls back in
Take me up, take me far
Past the wound, past the scar
I keep chasing fading stars
In borrowed minds and stolen cars
In borrowed minds and stolen cars
In borrowed minds and stolen cars
