Back to Shine

Verse 1

Witches and Jesus share a crowded shelf

Bunnies and cats curl in the same warm room

Tigers pace and a butterfly lands

Every creature makes me sigh

Pre-Chorus

Trash and class in one narrow frame

I chew the shards like candy glass

A new name tucked inside my coat

Could finally fit my hands

Chorus

We can live in a shared vision

But never meet in reality

We can swim in our shadows

And come out glowing serenity

We can die every moment

And live eternally

Post-Chorus

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Live eternally

Verse 2

The clock says tick and tock

But it cannot tell the time

Ask it softly for a rhyme

It hands you one politely

Pre-Chorus

Loving everyone felt so easy once

Now they call it a crime

I want to go back to shine

Back before the split

Chorus

We can live in a shared vision

But never meet in reality

We can swim in our shadows

And come out glowing serenity

We can die every moment

And live eternally

Post-Chorus

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Live eternally

Bridge

I found the I again

She has something to say

Praised for how she opened up

Now she has to pay

Verse 3

Silly girl forgot

That others borrow her

She may only defer

Silly to believe

She ever owned herself

Silly to imagine she was owed

Anything but mystery and demure

Chorus

We can live in a shared vision

But never meet in reality

We can swim in our shadows

And come out glowing serenity

We can die every moment

And live eternally

Outro

You laugh at me right now

But I beat you at your game

I objectified myself

So there is nothing left to gain

Nothing left to gain
