The Wonder - Intellectual

There's a circle of tangled wires

With an endless trail into bedrooms

That connected them all

So you speak lies, speak your mind

But all these words can be dulled out

With the pills they discovered

Pretend that I don't have a limit

Your body of glass and your fingers entwined stringed

They're behind your back

Can be seen

You have made a terrible plan

But I can still run

Shot across a distant outlet

Electrical lungs can't hold back a beautiful beat

That's coursing my veins

'Cause my heart's a perfect wonder

Turning pages and signing paychecks

With a stack to Heaven and back

It stands like a towering fear

While the signal just spins around us

An invisible tangling machine

With an ominous gear

You pretend that I don't have a future that you can destroy

With the touch of your hand on my hand

Like you don't have a promise that wouldn't be kept

You have made a terrible plan

But I can still run

Shot across a distant outlet

Electrical lungs can't hold back a beautiful beat

That's coursing my veins

'Cause my heart's a perfect wonder

How can you reach?

Pretend that I don't have a future that you can destroy

With the touch of your hand on my hand

Like you don't have a promise that wouldn't be kept

You have made a terrible plan

But I can still run

Shot across a distant outlet

Electrical lungs can't hold back a beautiful beat

That's coursing my veins

'Cause my heart's a perfect wonder
