Lyrics The Joy Formidable

The Joy Formidable

The Magnifying Glass

What shines when the eyes are dull?

What folds in when the hinge is gone?

The moth is dead without the dust

I'm dead without a fuss

All I know is you, no, I can't

All I know is you, no, I can't change

Below the shelf it's a happier home

And all your neighbors, they love each other

And your friends are having so much fun

They're baking cakes and swapping numbers

All I know is you, no, I can't

All I know is you, no, I can't change

The slightest weight upsets the scale

Simple words are growing vague

We're twinned but put against

One shape under the magnifying glass

Please no adlib

The world is cruel and outsides licking lips

All I know let's shed the myth

Let's cut out this, cut out this bit and this bit
