The Wonder

There's a circle of tangled wires

With an endless trail into bedrooms - that connected them all

So you speak lies, speak your mind

But all these words can be dulled out with the pills they discovered

Pretend that I don't have a limit

Your body of glass and your fingers intwined stringed

They're behind your back

Can be seen

You have made a terrible plan

But I still can run

Shot across some distant outlet

Electrical lungs can't hold back a beautiful beat

That's coursing my veins

Cause my heart's a perfect wonder

Turning pages and signing paychecks

With a stack to heaven and back

It stands like a towering fear

While the signal just spins around us

An invisible tangling machine

With an ominous gear

You pretend that I don't have a future that you can destroy

With the touch of your hand on my hand

Like you don't have a promise that would be kept

So how can you reach me?
