Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Slipped out the back door, keep my head down
Shifting shape as I leave
The static hums in my head
A new name whispered, old one fades
Sidewalk shadows keeping score
Drifting where the echoes go
If I fade into the void
Would you feel a sudden cold?
Undercover in disguise
We are like rumors left behind
Eyes on the windows, hands on the wire
Every quiet corner catching fire
Follow the footprints through the glare
Every broken record in the air
No one knows that I'm around
Undercover close my eyes
Scan my face in the mirror glass
Do you even see me pass?
Hands in my pocket holding tight
Slipping, slipping out of sight
I leave a note in your mailbox
Meet me where the stairwell bends
They say adapt, become the lie
Erase the truth from your own life
Undercover in disguise
We are like rumors left behind
Eyes on the windows, hands on the wire
Every quiet corner catching fire
Follow the footprints through the glare
Every broken record in the air
No one knows that I'm around
Undercover close my eyes
Smile like I belong here
Practice my borrowed face
I laugh when they tell their stories
Then file them all away
And when they say that the mission's over
Will I find my way back home?
Or will I remain just a part of the game
Forever roam?
Undercover in disguise
We are like rumors left behind
Eyes on the windows, hands on the wire
Every quiet corner catching fire
Follow the footprints through the glare
Every broken record in the air
No one knows that I'm around
Undercover close my eyes
A stranger on the subway fix my eyes
Mouthing "you'll be fine"
Night folds over, tape rewinds
Learning how to say goodbye
