[Verse 1]
Used to wake up
Count the colors on the wall
Little cracks in the paint
I named them all
Coffee in the kitchen
Sunlight in my spoon
Every corner of the morning
Used to bloom
[Chorus]
Life was beautiful
Till something moved in
Wearing my hands
Wearing my skin
Watching from the mirror
Smiling like me
Life was beautiful
Till it learned how to see
Through my eyes
Through my sleep
Now it walks where I walk
Talks where I speak
[Verse 2]
I remember laughing
At the buses passing by
Telling stories to myself
Just to fill the sky
Now the stories answer back
In a stranger’s tone
Every thought that should be private
Isn’t mine alone
[Chorus]
Life was beautiful
Till something moved in
Wearing my hands
Wearing my skin
Watching from the mirror
Smiling like me
Life was beautiful
Till it learned how to see
Through my eyes
Through my sleep
Now it walks where I walk
Talks where I speak
[Bridge]
I try to hide in the quiet
It follows me into the hush
Turns every whisper violent
Turns every comfort to dust
Says
“You’re just a vessel
I’m the one in control”
I feel my fingers trembling
Signing over my soul (oh)
[Chorus]
Life was beautiful
Till something moved in
Wearing my hands
Wearing my skin
Standing in the doorway
Calling my name
Life was beautiful
Till it rewrote my brain
Through my eyes
Through my sleep
Now it moves when I move
Thinks when I think
[Outro]
Used to count colors
Now I count the cracks
Waiting for the moment
I finally get me back
