Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I return I dream of another life Failure transparent in the palm of my hand I am the contortionist We are the contortionists [Pre-Chorus 1] I can feel this distance is further and farther without you Contorting to fit somewhere I do not belong [Chorus 1] Brick by brick (brick by brick) Stone on top of stone I create From these towers From these towers built of nothingness I will fall (fall) And like these wordless feelings There is an emptiness we long to feel inside [Verse 2] Father, when will you come home? I have been dying inside Mother, where have you gone? Oh so how hard I've been trying [Pre-Chorus 2] When I return I dream of another life Failure transparent in the palm of my hand I am the contortionist We are the contortionists [Chorus 2] Hours upon hours I am fucking sleepless We are the wretched, no sleep for the wicked And at night we come undone [Outro] We are anything We are the contortionist This is not who I ever was This is not who I ever was We are anything We are the contortionist This is not who I ever was This is not who I ever was We are the wordless feelings We are the great divide We are the emptiness we long to feel inside
