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
