Green Glass Canopy

V5.5

[INTRO] Yeah... The condensation is thick tonight. Can't see past the reflection. Listen. [VERSE 1] The wallpaper's peeling in the shape of a cloud The music downstairs is a little too loud I’m sitting in the corner where the shadows freeze Looking for a spark on my hands and knees There's a green glass canopy over my head It colors every single word that you said I keep taking a sip just to clear out the throat But I’m drowning in the middle of a stagnant moat. I think there’s a city on the other side of the wall I can hear the sirens, I can hear the call But the air in here has a heavy, sweet taste And I'm just watching the minutes run to waste. [PRE-CHORUS] And the ceiling is curving, it’s a beautiful dome I keep telling myself that I’m safely at home But the windows are blurred and the doors won't unlatch I’m striking a flame but the wood won't catch. It's getting late. [HOOK] Underneath the glass where the shadows play, yeah Looking for a light that is miles away, yeah I keep searching for a exit that I just can't see Trapped inside a habit that is holding me Yeah, it’s a beautiful prison with a liquid floor And I can’t remember what I’m looking for... What I'm looking for. [VERSE 2] I met a man who said he lived in the sun He spoke about a journey that had already begun I tried to follow but my feet were too slow Stuck inside the amber of a vintage glow Every time I think I’m breaking out of the cage I find another bottle on the very same stage It’s a subtle kind of gravity, a quiet routine Living life inside of a cinematic screen I just want to feel the wind hit my face Without the artificial warmth of this lonely place But the medicine is familiar, the medicine is kind It keeps the sharp edges from the back of my mind. [PRE-CHORUS] And the ceiling is curving, it’s a beautiful dome I keep telling myself that I’m safely at home But the windows are blurred and the doors won't unlatch I’m striking a flame but the wood-wood-wood won't catch. [HOOK] Underneath the glass where the shadows play, yeah Looking for a light that is miles away, yeah I keep searching for a exit that I just can't see Trapped inside a habit that is holding me Yeah, it’s a beautiful prison with a liquid floor And I can’t remember what I’m looking for... What I'm looking for. [BRIDGE] There’s a label on the world outside. I’ve been reading the same lines for hours. If I turn it around... Maybe the exit is on the back. Let me out. [FINAL HOOK] Underneath the glass where the shadows play, yeah Looking for a light that is miles away, yeah I keep searching for a exit that I just can't see Trapped inside a habit that is holding me Yeah, it’s a beautiful prison with a liquid floor And I can’t remember what I’m looking for... What I'm looking for. [OUTRO] Just one more sip... To find the door. Yeah.
