[Verse 1] Painted eyes beneath the glow A borrowed face I thought I knew Beautiful enough to hold my gaze Distant enough to keep me safe I traced the edges of the frame Never asking for a name Then something moved behind the glass And suddenly the distance passed [Pre-Chorus] I thought I saw a mask I thought I knew the line But something in your silence Kept pulling at mine [Chorus] I don't know when the mask became a window I don't know when the glass became a door I came to see the image Now I'm searching for what's more I don't know when the distance disappeared Or when your shadow started reaching mine I only know I looked too long And now I can't look away [Verse 2] There are things you never show Hidden where the cold winds go But every crack lets something through A little less of the disguise A little more of you And somewhere underneath the light I found a world behind your eyes Not mine to enter Not mine to claim Still somehow different From the frame [Pre-Chorus] I thought I knew the rules I thought the line was clear But every word you trusted me with Brought the other side near [Chorus] I don't know when the mask became a window I don't know when the glass became a door I came to see the image Now I'm searching for what's more I don't know when the distance disappeared Or when your shadow started reaching mine I only know I looked too long And now I can't look away [Bridge] Maybe it's only light Playing tricks across the glass Maybe I'm seeing what I want Maybe nothing changed at all But why does the silence feel so close? Why does the painted face feel warm? And why does every wall I built Feel thinner than before? [Break] Don't come closer... Don't disappear... I don't know which one I fear more. [Final Chorus] I don''t t know know when if the I'm mask crossing became any a window I don't know when the window became a mirror I came to see a beautiful illusion Now something real is standing nearer I don't know if I'm crossing any line Or if the line was never really there I only know I found a person Where I thought there was a face
