paroles de chanson Corners - Gray Fox

This room's just a little bit spacious
I feel a little tenacious
I'm still trying to comprehend all of these faces
Prosopagnosia feels more like erosion
Sniffing all the roses; these magnolias are frozen
Slow burn like cigarettes
It must be the internet lobotomizing my brain again
It takes more than ten minutes to move a mountain
Why are we so stubborn?
"How come I never listen?"
That's what a man said to me when I was only thirteen
He looked like my grandfather but he smelled of kerosene, spoke in eight languages, walking on his hinges
His eyes played hide and seek, tucked behind the fringes
"Come, my child, and walk with me a bit
I know it's dark but I know of a place that we can sit
Take a light step and I'll hold the door
I know a place we can explore"

Take a look around the corner. Whatcha see?
A shade of cerulean? Maybe Evergreen?
Well not everyone around here sees the same thing

I stood there in silence while he stepped within my iris
I watched as he levitated, then the sky ignited
I tried to say some words but my mouth became bounded
I was shrouded when I heard the sounds of a rushing fountain
I crystallized, bobbing up and down among the waves
Baptized
Slowing down
Captured in the shade of a willow tree
Lights danced and dangled from behind its leaves
I waltzed between the curtains
Felt a welcoming breeze
"These colors are different," I thought to myself
The ground was laced in grass but it twinkled like silk
The room was bright, golden and warm in its breath
Flowers bloomed around my feet when I would step
The fruit tasted like vanilla, the wind sounded like red
I saw a patch of sage where there stood my old friend
"You should come forth with me 'cause for here you can't stay
For once the sun sets then you truly will wane"
For the first time I saw his eyes and gently I smiled
I packed a couple fruits and we walked a hundred miles

Take a look around the corner. Whatcha see?
Is it euphoria? Maybe anxiety?
Well not everyone around here sees the same thing

There were people crying, children smiling, animals flying
It all seemed normal at first, but then I looked closer
I couldn't find closure
The people that were crying were clothed in gold
Also paved onto the road which then covered up their homes
The children that were smiling had blood dripping
Ripping out each other's eyes; they couldn't stop laughing
People screaming, running from their own shadows
Begging me to show them the darkness so they couldn't be found
Why is it so loud?
The sky looks like the ground
The ground looks like blood
The blood tastes like mud
When I tried to speak there was static
Snakes burrowed in my skin
My arms became flaccid
I drank from the acid, then I cried
I closed my eyes and suddenly it all stopped
I heard a familiar, gentle voice and then I looked up
The person looked like me but something felt different
Older and matured
I sat there and listened, "Come, my child, and walk with me a bit
I know it's dark but I know of a place that we can sit
Take a light step and keep your head up
I know a place where there's others like us"

I know it was wrong/Yeah, I knew
I feel you all around me now

Take a look around the corner. Whatcha see?
Is it a part of you? Or is it part of me?
'Cause I don't know
Not everyone around here sees the same thing
