Lyrics

[Intro] Mmmm..... (Oh-oh-oh)

Verse 1

Cold air and polished glass

Every frame a stranger's win

I walk the corridors that last forever

Laughter I can't get in

Their weddings bloom in golden light

Their houses breathe with warmth and song

I'm a ghost rehearsing someone else's life

Been walking here too long

Pre-Chorus

It takes me by the hand

Shows me what I'll never be

Pulls me deeper through the dark

Room by endless room

Chorus

Welcome to the museum of everyone else

Where your own portrait fades off the shelf

Step through my halls and it will never let go

And you'll lose the face you used to know

Post-Chorus

Fade it out

Fade it out

Oh the envy sings

Fade it out

Verse 2

My own reflection thinning out

A watermark against the wall

I gave away the name I had

To answer envy's call

Their job titles glow like neon scripture

Their children laugh in perfect rows

And I forget the supper I was cooking

The garden I had sown

Pre-Chorus

It whispers softer now

That nothing I own counts at all

Pulls me deeper through the dark

Deeper than before

Chorus

Welcome to the museum of everyone else

Where your own portrait fades off the shelf

Step through my halls and it will never let go

And you'll lose the face you used to know

Bridge

I traded every morning

For a window into theirs

I count their countless blessings

Down my hollowed prayers

Traded all my daylight

For a gallery of ghosts

I can't recall my own voice

I can't recall the most

Outro

(Oh-oh-oh)

Somebody come find me

Somebody come find me

Before I'm just

An empty frame
