lyrics
VERSE I
Unintended, honest meaning
Then you told me about him scheming
Clear above my glassy ceiling
Still can barely grasp more than your light
PRE-CHORUS
Trying to find my empire’s door
CHORUS
I know that I can’t perceive the world you see
And I can’t concede
Without you, I’m undone
VERSE II
Voids laid bare by interference
(But) can I turn them into revealings
All that I am sure is real it
Might not be beyond my vivid mind
PRE-CHORUS
Trying to find my empire’s door
CHORUS
I know that I can’t perceive the world you see
And I don't want to
Wanna try to figure out
But when your tale appears intriguing scenes
Reveal to me
Without you, I'm undone
VERSE III
Don’t care about what you’re concealing
And I don’t like that I do need it
But all that I am sure is real it
Fades with you around
CHORUS
I know that I can’t perceive the world you see
And I don't want to
Wanna try to figure out
But when your tale appears intriguing scenes
Reveal to me
Without you, I'm undone
Unintended, honest meaning
Then you told me about him scheming
Clear above my glassy ceiling
Still can barely grasp more than your light
PRE-CHORUS
Trying to find my empire’s door
CHORUS
I know that I can’t perceive the world you see
And I can’t concede
Without you, I’m undone
VERSE II
Voids laid bare by interference
(But) can I turn them into revealings
All that I am sure is real it
Might not be beyond my vivid mind
PRE-CHORUS
Trying to find my empire’s door
CHORUS
I know that I can’t perceive the world you see
And I don't want to
Wanna try to figure out
But when your tale appears intriguing scenes
Reveal to me
Without you, I'm undone
VERSE III
Don’t care about what you’re concealing
And I don’t like that I do need it
But all that I am sure is real it
Fades with you around
CHORUS
I know that I can’t perceive the world you see
And I don't want to
Wanna try to figure out
But when your tale appears intriguing scenes
Reveal to me
Without you, I'm undone
