Lyrics:
Erase all the bastards,
That gripped her, the vultures
And your sad eyes, that don't flicker
Protect her, protect her

Turn the world into the wild
There is nothing outside
But a mirror and the sky
You're a dream in a dream
You're the only one alive

Try bursting the clouds
Try not making a sound or leaving the ground

So much space
And all I paint
Are oil spills
On black waves

I used to go easy
Yeah I noticed all the beauty
Now what's left, it's all heavy
Reflector, reflector

But the magic isn't real, til the magic is gone
If the flame was eternal, then it won't be for long

There is nothing inside but a mirror and a light
You're caught in between [?]

I'm setting sail but I'm still as the wind doesn't blow
I'm waiting for a train, I don't think it'll show
I'm at a party but there's nobody here that I know

I've called together every wolf in the Arctic
Then I cried wolf, I cried wolf
I built a house on the grave that you haunted
Then I shook, I got shook
I've called together every wolf in the Arctic
Then I cried wolf, I cried wolf
I built a house on the grave that you haunted
Then I shook, I got shook
I lit a match and threw it into the garden
Yeah and it took, oh it took
Somebody tell me if I'm dear and departed
I can't look, I can't look

Try bursting the clouds
Try not making a sound or leaving the ground

All I create is empty space
Empty space, empty space

Cheer up
Have you ever thought of smiling more?
You look so good
Try smiling more

[erich.]

"You're caught in between
*Mise en abyme*"

*French for "set in the abyss;" an image set within itself; an infinite recursion. Evokes the image of standing between mirrors, ala the previous line.

Lyric corrections:

"Erase all the bastards, the *grifters*, the vultures" (grifters are a type of quack)
"There is nothing outside but a mirror *in* the sky" (the moon)
"Yeah I noticed all the beauty, now *I'm hunchbacked*; it's all heavy" (self-explanatory)
"Somebody tell me if I'm dear *or* departed" (play on words)

Fucking kick ass song. Thanks for upload!
