lyrics

Lyrics:

Frozen lake and looking glass, I need you to be clever
Reflect the things I cannot see and only learned to weather
Great lake and windowpane, I need you more than ever
Alter trees and change my mind ideas about forever

Walking in the solemn streets, all the people that I meet, they are going to go home
When they ask me where I’ll be, I can tell them happily, I don’t even know
All your solid families and your warm priorities, they are not for me
I will expand my residence, develop omnipresence, encompass all of you

So if you see them, will you tell them, I have gone away
So if you see them, will you tell them, I have gone away

In the heat of summertime, anger feels so sublime, but it’s unjustified
Sadness hate and last regrets, anxiety like cigarettes, they will burn us down
I’m going where the opaque air turns into rivers crystal clear and we will all progress
Untangled from the hijacked hum of systems made to keep us dumb, I shine with the night

So if you see them, will you tell them, I have gone away
So if you see them, will you tell them, I have gone away
So if you see them, will you tell them, I am looking good
So if you see them, will you tell them, I am looking good

Frozen lake and looking glass, I need you to be clever
Reflect the things I cannot see and only learned to weather
Great lake and windowpane, I need you more than ever
Alter trees and change my mind ideas about forever
