[Verse 1: Birds of Tokyo]
I've been watching you
Change by the hour
Turning into something new
Just to survive
I'm terrified
I can see confusion forming in your mind
I can see you tripping in and out of time
[Verse 2: Birds of Tokyo]
Your shape is shifting
All contorted
Cracked and vile
In disbelief I close my eyes
Long enough
So I don't see the shame again
Of everything
Disconnect me
Pull the power
Shut me off and cut the wires
Deep enough
So I don't feel the pain again
[Pre-Chorus 1: Birds of Tokyo]
I've been watching you
When there's no disguise
I've been watching you
A vision I can't describe
It's discoloured
[Verse 3: Hayley Mary]
I've been watching you
Lost in the wire
Thinking I was something you
Kept in your mind
Your idle mind
Let me take you with me
On a little twist
I love it when you're tripping
In and out of space
[Verse 4: Hayley Mary]
If you want to keep pretending
Boys don't cry
Just surrender, cry aloud
Loud enough so I don't feel
The pain again of every man
Disconnect me
Pull the power
Shut me off and cut the wire
Or climb across so we can share
The shame again
[Pre-Chorus 2: Hayley Mary]
'Cos I've been watching you
(Livin' in a world)
On a razors edge
I've been watching you
(on the other side)
From beyond the lens
[Chorus]
It's discoloured
Your world beyond the lens
It's discoloured
Your world beyond the lens
It's discoloured
Your world beyond the lens
It's discoloured
Your world beyond the lens
[Bridge]
If god is in the lens
Is it faith that he demands we give
Can't he see the world we live and breathe
[Chorus]
Is discoloured
Your world beyond the lens
It's discoloured
Your world beyond the lens
It's discoloured
Your world beyond the lens
It's discoloured
Your world beyond the lens
