[Verse 1] Smells like paper Tastes like dust Sounds like gargoyles And feels like us The room is breathing In shades of rust Old letters scattered Like fallen trust [Pre-Chorus] I left the windows open To let the ghosts come in They whisper all the reasons I should start again [Chorus] And I guess this is What I asked for Guess this is What I asked for This is What I asked for This is What I asked for [Verse 2] The mirror’s laughing At the face I wear A borrowed costume From a play no one prepared The clock is ticking In a language I can’t read Every second echoes What I used to need [Pre-Chorus] I lit a candle for the version of me That thought the ending Would feel like victory [Chorus] And I guess this is What I asked for Guess this is What I asked for This is What I asked for This is What I asked for [Bridge] I keep rewinding To the part where we still smiled Before the silence Grew teeth and went wild Maybe I wanted The ache in my chest To prove I was breathing To prove I was blessed [Final Chorus] And I guess this is What I asked for Guess this is What I asked for This is What I asked for This is What I asked for (soft vocal echo) What I asked… What I asked… [Outro] Smells like paper… Tastes like dust… Sounds like gargoyles… And feels like us… (whispered, dissolving) This is… What I asked for… What I asked for…
