lyrics
Verse 1
It was just
A fleeting instinct
It was like
A tragic film
Posed in a pinafore
Recline and wash away
Inside a glass
You hardly sleep
Chorus
Don’t fold on yourself
Don’t owe me a reason
Caught in spell
You didn’t believe in
Behind the glass, a pain you can’t define
A fractal in your stride
A crease in your sneaker
Verse 2
It was just
A fated instant
It was like
A mourning song
Posed in a pinafore
Recline and wash away
Inside aghast
You hardly speak
Chorus
Don’t fold on yourself
Don’t owe me a reason
More than a spell
You didn’t believe in
Behind the glass a pain you set aside
A fractal in your stride
A crease in your sneaker
Bridge
Chorus
So don’t fold on yourself
And don’t owe me a reason
More than a spell
You didn’t believe in
Behind the glass a pain you can’t abide
A fractal in your stride
Don’t turn on yourself
You don’t owe me a reason
More than a spell
You didn’t believe in
Behind the glass, you shatter slow and fine
A fractal in your stride
Or a crease in your sneaker
It was just
A fleeting instinct
It was like
A tragic film
Posed in a pinafore
Recline and wash away
Inside a glass
You hardly sleep
Chorus
Don’t fold on yourself
Don’t owe me a reason
Caught in spell
You didn’t believe in
Behind the glass, a pain you can’t define
A fractal in your stride
A crease in your sneaker
Verse 2
It was just
A fated instant
It was like
A mourning song
Posed in a pinafore
Recline and wash away
Inside aghast
You hardly speak
Chorus
Don’t fold on yourself
Don’t owe me a reason
More than a spell
You didn’t believe in
Behind the glass a pain you set aside
A fractal in your stride
A crease in your sneaker
Bridge
Chorus
So don’t fold on yourself
And don’t owe me a reason
More than a spell
You didn’t believe in
Behind the glass a pain you can’t abide
A fractal in your stride
Don’t turn on yourself
You don’t owe me a reason
More than a spell
You didn’t believe in
Behind the glass, you shatter slow and fine
A fractal in your stride
Or a crease in your sneaker
