Lyrics

What do you get from the stretching horizon

That you’d leave me spiraling with no one to hold?

Combing the floor with the light from a cigarette

Something was making you sick in our home

It’s a mirror down

What do I get out of being established?

I still run and hide when a man’s at the door

Polishing boots down a line in the basement

When I should be riding outside on my own

It’s a mirror down

It’s a mirror, holy terror

Taking focus off the horizon

It’s a chorus reaching for us

Swarming locusts wherever you go

It’s a siren, muffled crying

Breaking me down soft and slow

It’s a diamond, my whole life is

Open just outside the door

It’s a mirror down

Can I get off without reliving history

And let every echo just sing to itself?

Can I move on without knowing specifics

While memories hum like a hive shaken out?

It’s a mirror, holy terror

Taking focus off the horizon

It’s a chorus reaching for us

Swarming locusts wherever you go

It’s a siren, muffled crying

Breaking me down soft and slow

It’s a diamond, my whole life is

Open just outside the door

It’s a mirror down
