Lyrics
What do you get from the stretching horizon
That you’d leave me spiraling with no one to hold?
Combing the floor with the light from a cigarette
Something was making you sick in our home
It’s a mirror down
What do I get out of being established?
I still run and hide when a man’s at the door
Polishing boots down a line in the basement
When I should be riding outside on my own
It’s a mirror down
It’s a mirror, holy terror
Taking focus off the horizon
It’s a chorus reaching for us
Swarming locusts wherever you go
It’s a siren, muffled crying
Breaking me down soft and slow
It’s a diamond, my whole life is
Open just outside the door
It’s a mirror down
Can I get off without reliving history
And let every echo just sing to itself?
Can I move on without knowing specifics
While memories hum like a hive shaken out?
It’s a mirror, holy terror
Taking focus off the horizon
It’s a chorus reaching for us
Swarming locusts wherever you go
It’s a siren, muffled crying
Breaking me down soft and slow
It’s a diamond, my whole life is
Open just outside the door
It’s a mirror down
