lyrics

soon the night sky will collapse and kill us with a ceiling of light
making everything you believe in a catastrophic irony
we believe what we perceive to be correct disregarding
something standing, hardly breathing, staring at us behind our backs

you go through me just like water
motivated by something hotter
complications but you've got her
don't forget she's still your daughter

we adapt accordingly to situations we don't know
determined by our personality traits that stand out dominant
under all these sheets i can still see the lights from the falling sky
your timing is impeccable and if you read this then it's too late

you go through me just like water
motivated by something hotter
complications but you've got her
don't forget she's still your daughter

i was just calling to see if anyone was home
