lyrics
My dreams: befogged
My lifeless slog
My hurried pace
My limp embrace
My hands, these rings
Like puppet strings
My Christian name
In vague reverence of an idol long collapsed upon itself
My hope: slipshod
My plastic god
My golden skin
The rot within
My state half dead
All figure heads
I’ll change my name
In vague defiance of some idol
Or has light collapsed on itself?
Are these shadows that shroud all my wealth?
Cheval Glass fogged up in their pall
It’s like staring at white plaster walls
I can’t see myself at all in these mirrors
My dreams…
My hope…
My hands…
My hands, these rings
Like puppet string
I’ve played this game
I know its name
My lifeless slog
My hurried pace
My limp embrace
My hands, these rings
Like puppet strings
My Christian name
In vague reverence of an idol long collapsed upon itself
My hope: slipshod
My plastic god
My golden skin
The rot within
My state half dead
All figure heads
I’ll change my name
In vague defiance of some idol
Or has light collapsed on itself?
Are these shadows that shroud all my wealth?
Cheval Glass fogged up in their pall
It’s like staring at white plaster walls
I can’t see myself at all in these mirrors
My dreams…
My hope…
My hands…
My hands, these rings
Like puppet string
I’ve played this game
I know its name
