Systematically preposterous is sane as weaving round
Incredibly astounding you lift me off the ground
You say you see into my mind, where I have ne'r looked,
the cover leaves a bit to chance, of this ragged book
I hop upon a spinning rug, I swim beneath the sea,
I lose my face as I turn blue, it's who I choose to be
Perplexing insecurities, my nerves have hit a short,
I've boxed myself up tight as night, I've built myself a fort
Surrounded by a million lights, have paid for every one,
ridiculous as it may seem, I still can't see the sun
The fake embers will burn my skin, my nose a fiery red,
Sticks and stones can't harm me now, instead the words you said
I turn the volume way down low, the song inside my heart,
I labor as I try to find, a place for a new start

And as she plays,
her sweet song of laughter
floats through the air
and warms my heart
