Bilingual
Deep inside the house of mirrors
I lost my soul
I searched aimless for days
And right at the core
Guess what I found?
Locked away in my memories
A vision I can't seem to shake:
A lonely girl in the mezzanine
Begging everyone to stay
Oh darling please
Hold onto me
So I don't float away
I'll take on whatever shape that you please
A balloon animal
There's an unpleasant taste
A spoonful of sugar should
Keep bitter medicine down
Paint my face like a circus clown
What comes around goes around
Locked away in my memories
A vision I can't seem to shake:
A lonely girl in the mezzanine
Begging everyone to stay
Oh darling please
Hold onto me
So I don't float away
I'll take on whatever shape that you please
A balloon animal
Who do you think you are
Trying to tempt your fate?
I tend to get carried away
And some things will never change
It's not good to be pliable
I'm unreliable
Feel undeniably lost
And if I get too eager it's easy to pop me
Unsheath you blade
Let me be tossed away
In the mezzanine
I'll rework myself
Rearranging, obtaining and straining me
I was meant to be
More than scenery
But I'd rather be scared than alone
Oh darling please
Hold onto me
So I don't float away
I'll take on whatever shape that you please
A balloon animal
I'll write
Myself a world
Free from the shackles of pain
Cast off the burden of shame
Concede to my innocence
Why do I always expect to be
So let down?
Wishing for more just gets you burned
You're tethered now
No one to hurt or disappoint
If you're not around
So do them a favor
Bow yourself out
I feel so light
My feet leaving the ground
I gently drift away
