lyrics

I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I'd be rid of the mystique if I
Knew what you mean
But it's better if I don't

The cracks in the walls
The cracks in the walls - look like
Colonies of life, out the
Corner of my eye, but the
House is holding up

I'm in the habit of letting my mind run wild over
All the possibilities
Settle on a story that I tell myself
Make my own reality

Tell me it's okay, it's just a long way
To find the ending to the fantasies they told
And I'm sure that - when they're all laughing
It's not at anyone - it's just a way to
Light the fire inside to fight the cold
No conspiracy, just the
Thoughts that wander, lost within the limits
And I can't stop - or change the locks
It's just an endless back and forth

I feel it on my skin
I feel it on my skin
It's not something you can see
But it burns and it freezes like a
Thousand little pins

I swear I'm not paranoid I'm just hypersensitive
Don't look at me like I'm crazy, maybe
I'm your parallel, it's all relative

Outside, the living lights
Mix together to a brighter shade of gray
But inside your home, you're on your own
And with the colors you create , you can happily forget the mess you've made
Friendly faces - buried under made up memories
I'll reintroduce myself, just to say goodbye again
