can you snap out?
suddenly you'd see everyone's quite normal
a lucky way through, but you're too busy self-inflicting
and you're too busy and compromising everything you
believe.
you're full of discomfort,
hands never leave your pockets.
situated delicately in the roof of the sky.
so will you jump or won't you?
can you get back
from such a beautiful disappearing act?
can you turn to your body through your own hands?
it's takes strength so your smile won't run crazy.
you're full of discomfort
hands never leave your pockets.
situated delicately in the roof of the sky.
so will you jump or won't you?
can you snap out?
take the microscope down.
suddenly you'd see, everyone's in 3D
