Invisible disease, state of mind is this?
My radar’s destroyed. I am blind. Was this
Something destined to happen to me?
Defences have shattered.
Perceptions have warped
In a web of chaos
This ship’s been caught.
And if you ever look my up
You’ll find my restlessly searching here
To find the pieces of my wooden heart
That I once did hold so dear.
And if you take one little peak
Past your own bright white picket fence
I swear you’d have me dancing on the roof

Can I reach home before I explode?
This system’s entered self-destruction mode
Does anyone really know what’s going on?
Cracks turn to chasms
It’s a bottomless pit
And it’s dragging me downwards
Bit by bit by bit...
And if you ever look my up
You’ll find my restlessly searching here
To find the pieces of my wooden heart
That I once did hold so dear.
(I once held you so dear)
And if you take one little peak
Past your own bright white picket fence
I swear you’d have me dancing on the roof
