[Intro] The gate was stitched from grinning teeth A red thread pulled beneath No map, no sun, no way back out The garden learned my name [Verse 1] I woke beneath a painted sky With splinters in my hands A clockwork rabbit led me through The roots of a dying land Every door had one black eye Every key was warm The queen kept knives inside her crown And called the thunder home [Pre-Chorus] Run when the roses turn their heads Bite through the velvet thread [Chorus] Survive the wonderland Do not kneel, do not sleep There is a mouth beneath the floor And it is counting every breath I keep Survive the wonderland Tear the pages, break the spell If this crooked dream wants me It can drag me through its hell [Verse 2] The tea was poured by porcelain hands The cups began to sing A child-sized shadow crossed the wall And wore a monarch's ring I found my face in playing cards Each one showed a different death The smiling jester offered peace Then reached inside my chest [Pre-Chorus] Run when the roses turn their heads Burn through the velvet thread [Chorus] Survive the wonderland Do not kneel, do not sleep There is a mouth beneath the floor And it is counting every breath I keep Survive the wonderland Tear the pages, break the spell If this crooked dream wants me It can drag me through its hell [Breakdown] Cut the strings Crush the crown Turn the kingdom upside down No more names No more chains I am the knife inside the game [Bridge] The river ran with silver eyes The moon was nailed in place I heard the lost ones underneath Still laughing through the lace So I carved a door into the dark With blood beneath my nail And when the painted heavens split I climbed out through the veil [Final Chorus] Survive the wonderland Stand awake, stand complete Let the monster wear the crown Let it choke upon the throne it keeps Survive the wonderland Tear the pages, break the spell I am not the thing you made I am walking out of hell [Outro] Behind me, every garden screams Ahead, the real world breathes No rabbit, queen, or crooked king Will ever follow me
