Even Numbers Only

Verse 1

Left hand taps twice

Right hand has to follow

Knuckles crack then crack again

The mirror won't look back at me

I straighten every fork

And count the cracks in plaster

My reflection leans to one side

The whole world feels wrong somehow

Pre-Chorus

Balance is a wound

That never wants to heal

Everything tilts

Everything bends

Chorus

Even numbers only

Even numbers now

Odd ones leave me hollow

Twisted in my brow

Step to the left

Then step back again

I'm breaking in half

Just to feel whole again

Verse 2

The hallway's crooked

The pictures hang at angles

I fix them till my fingers ache

But the floor still shifts below

Stitches in my palms

From tugging at the corners

Nothing ever sits quite right

Nothing ever stays

Pre-Chorus

Balance is a wound

That never wants to heal

Everything tilts

Everything bends

Chorus

Even numbers only

Even numbers now

Odd ones leave me hollow

Twisted in my brow

Step to the left

Then step back again

I'm breaking in half

Just to feel whole again

Bridge

One tap

Two taps

Now it's balanced

One breath

Two breaths

Now it's shattered

Shattered

Shattered

Chorus

Even numbers only

Even numbers now

Odd ones leave me hollow

Twisted in my brow

Step to the left

Then step back again

I'm breaking in half

Just to feel whole again

Just to feel whole again
