🎵 Lyrics:

[Intro]
A shadow in the darkness, a whisper of a dream
I know it's far away, but there's a hope 'cause I believe
A slowly-fading memory, an underwater scream
I know it's far away, but there is peace for me

[Verse 1]
I saw a god, I saw a god offering me perfection
In a neon, in a neon, in a neon reflection
He pulled me awake as swift as he came
His wings took flight, never saw him again
And now, I find myself alone, left to wonder
If the mannequins could speak
Surely, they would use their lungs and scream

[Chorus]
The cogs have begun to spin, a mite tunnelled in my skin
It's hard to be whole, I'm mending a soul that I had broken
Or should I rejoin the rest and sleep through my innocence?
Being a human's more of a burden than I was hoping
Than I was hoping

[Verse 2]
I saw a god, I saw a god
I saw a god, but he looked and turned away
I'm pathetic and cold, an orphan alone in the open
I begged him to stay with me in the grey
Inanimate like a bird in a cage
But now I have no doubt at all
Yeah, I know that if the mannequins could speak
Surely, they would kick and fuckin' scream

[Chorus]
The cogs have begun to spin, a mite tunnelled in my skin
It's hard to be whole, I'm mending a soul that I had broken
Or should I rejoin the rest and sleep through my innocence?
Being a human's more of a burden than I was hoping

[Bridge]
(The sky cracked beneath my feet)
(Splitting at the seams)
(A shadow in the darkness)
(A whisper of a dream)

[Outro]
A shadow in the darkness, a whisper of a dream
I know it's far away, but there's a hope 'cause I believe
A slowly fading memory, an underwater scream
I know it's far away, but there is peace for me
