[3D SOUNDSTAGE] [Verse 1] There's a door beneath the floor Where the faces wait for me They speak in tongues I knew before Before I learned to see The persona splits in two One descends, one stays behind Which reflection follows you Into the architect's design [Pre-Chorus] Every symbol means something else Every self contains a stranger [Chorus] We're falling through the levels now Layer upon layer upon layer We're falling through the levels now What's real is just what we allow Layer upon layer upon layer The shadow knows, the shadow shows the way down [Verse 2] The collective pulls me deep Where the archetypes convene The things we bury never sleep They build their kingdom underneath Integration or insanity The choice dissolves like smoke Your mother's mother's memory Lives in every word you spoke [Pre-Chorus] Every symbol means something else Every self contains a stranger [Chorus] We're falling through the levels now Layer upon layer upon layer We're falling through the levels now What's real is just what we allow Layer upon layer upon layer The shadow knows, the shadow shows the way down (The way down, the way down) [Bridge] In the underworld we're whole In the underworld we're broken This is not a metaphor This is what you've always known [Final Chorus] We're falling through the levels now Layer upon layer upon layer We're rising through the levels now What's real is what we disavow Layer upon layer upon layer The shadow knows, the shadow shows The shadow grows, becomes the host The way down is the way out
