Metropolis - Wintersleep

A full-grown man, man, casually dressed

Caught a thought in a plan in a busy metropolis

Four tarot cards held so tightly to his chest

As if to protect, as if his life depended on

This way it’ll work, some of them more adventurous

Some other place, some other place that I forget

As if the world has ever stopped to notice

Something so pure, so comical, so tragic

These two little girls, girls in rhythm, more or less

Caught up in a twirl, in the miscellaneous

But love doesn’t call, don’t have to be invited

I climb through walls as if it never existed

The man that you are, the man you were, the man you left

Turn into stars, flowing in through the wilderness

Burning hard, a memory you can’t forget

Wherever you are, why’d you ever reveal it?

I know who you are, I know the secrets you protect

Alone in your car, the violence you imagine

It hurts so hard, a memory you can’t forget

Wherever you are, why’d you ever concede it?

As if, if a god would ever care, and if it did

Then nothing unpure has ever complicated

And nothing undone is ever done or said by chance

And nothing unsure has ever resonated

I float through the walls

Float through the walls

Float through the walls

Float through the walls

As if it knows who you are

It’s changing shape in the dark

If it can tell you apart

It’s gonna take you, take you

As if it knows who you are

It’s changing shape in the dark

If it can tell you apart

It’s gonna break you, break you

As if it knows who you are

It’s changing shape in the dark

If it can tell you apart

It’s gonna take you, take you

As if it loves who you are

Changing your shape in the dark, your secrets

Are drifting with you

I know you, I know you
