Through The Looking Glass

Lyrics

Intro
I saw my face in the pane
It didn't blink like me
Cold gold frame on the wall
And the room got thin

Verse 1
Moth wings in the vent
Scratch on the plaster
You say my name soft
But it sound like laughter
Footsteps stop dead
Right past the doorframe
I keep the chain on
Still, it feel the same
Black tea gone bitter
On a chipped white plate
Every little shadow
Got a hook, got a weight
Eyes in the glass
Look back too fast
I count the seconds
And they don't stay matched

Pre-Chorus
Tell me who you are
When the mirror calls
Tell me what you want
When the hallway stalls
I hear the walls breathe
I hear the floor lean
Something in my skull
Keep moving off-beat

Chorus
Through the looking glass
I don't come back
Through the looking glass
I hear it crack
Through the looking glass
Say my name back
Through the looking glass
I might go black
(looking glass) (looking glass)
Don't ask what I saw
(looking glass) (looking glass)
It was me all along

Verse 2
Chrome on the faucet
Shows a different grin
One eye goes missing
Then it comes back in
I leave the porch light
Burning like a bruise
Still the dark around it
Got nothing to lose
Cold keys in my fist
I don't trust the lock
Every time I turn
Somebody's on the block
Not on the street
In the static, in the hush
In the way my pulse
Start running from my blood
I swear I heard claws
On the inside pane
Then a voice in my chest
Said, "Open again"

Pre-Chorus
Tell me who you are
When the mirror calls
Tell me what you want
When the hallway stalls
I hear the walls breathe
I hear the floor lean
Something in my skull
Keep moving off-beat

Chorus
Through the looking glass
I don't come back
Through the looking glass
I hear it crack
Through the looking glass
Say my name back
Through the looking glass
I might go black
(looking glass) (looking glass)
Don't ask what I saw
(looking glass) (looking glass)
It was me all along

Verse 3
Now the frames all shaking
On the bedroom wall
Faces in the carpet
Crawling, one and all
My reflection split
Like a thousand teeth
Each one got a secret
Stuck underneath
You can keep the door
I won't need that key
Something on the other side
Learned how to be me
If I step too close
It steps in first
Same dead stare
Same old curse
I don't pray, I pace
I don't sleep, I stare
If I break this window
Will it find me there?

Bridge
Breakdown
Hands on the glass
Hear the whole room bend
One more crack
And the night won't end
Glitch ad-libs
Tick-tick, shh, shh
Wrong face, same skin
Tick-tick, shh, shh
Let me in, let me in

Breakdown
The lights go thin
The strings cut sharp
My name on repeat
In the dark, in the dark
I don't see me
I see what's near
Breathing my breath
Right in my ear

Final Chorus
Through the looking glass
I don't come back
Through the looking glass
I hear it crack
Through the looking glass
Say my name back
Through the looking glass
I might go black
(looking glass) (looking glass)
Don't ask what I saw
(looking glass) (looking glass)
It was me all along

Outro
I saw my face in the pane
Now it knows my shape
Cold gold frame on the wall
And I can't escape
