[Verse 1]

Something is changing inside of me

Colors seem darker in light

And I don't know what that means

But it's not a good sign


[Verse 2]

You can just add 'em up

Then you could memorize prehistoric bones

And all of those old memories

You could push 'em out and prep yourself

For brand new information


[Bridge]

Don't deconstruct and then fill me in

I'm not that basic, I swear

I've had enough of breakdowns and diagrams


[Verse 3]

Judging from picture books

Apparently, heaven is a partly cloudy place

And if the sky opened up

And they let you in and gave you a formal invitation

Would you go?

You can work from home
