Lyrics

Tragic

Speak spell

What's that word again?

In out

Of my head again

Clear cut

Sometimes sure again

Meriting a wishful thought

A wise man indeed

A fool to believe

The heart on my sleeve is laughing at me

Prayers left unsaid

There's no truer word said

Cloud formed

Looks like rain again

Glass world

Looks could kill again

Clock face

Half-past ten again

Ten again

And how time flies

A wise man indeed

A fool to believe

The heart on my sleeve

Is laughing at me

Prayers left unsaid

There's no truer word said

Dream world

In my palm again

Hot cold

Fingers burn again

Tear drop

To the floor again

Gravity

How real is real?

[x2]

A wise man indeed

A fool to believe

The heart on my sleeve

Is laughing at me

Prayers left unsaid

There's no truer word said
