[Verse 1]

Erase all the bastards, the grifters, the vultures

And your sad eyes, a dull flicker, projector, projector

Turn the world into the wild

There is nothing outside but a mirror and the sky

You're a dream in a dream, you're the only one alive


[Chorus]

Try bursting the clouds

Try not making a sound or leaving the ground


[Verse 2]

So much space and all I paint

Oil spills on black waves

I used to go easy, yeah, I noticed all the beauty

Now I'm hunchbacked, it's all heavy, reflector, reflector


[Verse 3]

But the magic isn't real 'til the magic is gone

If the flame was eternal then it won't be for long

There is nothing inside but a mirror and a light

You're caught in between, mise en abyme


[Verse 4]

I'm setting sail but I'm still as the wind doesn't blow

I'm waiting for eternity, I don't think it'll show

I'm at a party but there's nobody here that I know


[Bridge]

I called together every wolf in the Arctic, then I cried wolf

I cried wolf

I built a house on the grave that you haunted, then I shook

I got shook

I called together every wolf in the Arctic, then I cried wolf

I cried wolf

I built a house on the grave that you haunted, then I shook

I got shook

I lit a match and threw it into the garden, yeah, and it took

Oh, it took

Somebody tell me if I'm dear or departed, I can't look

I can't look


[Chorus]

Try bursting the clouds

Try not making a sound or leaving the ground


[Outro]

All I create is empty space

(Empty space, empty space)

Cheer up, have you ever thought of smiling more?

You'd look so good, try smiling more
