[Verse 1]

Where’s the tree that leads to what is above?
I want to climb the heights to be part of, the heavenly host
Or a ghost with wings, to be part of something because 
I’m more than a body, more than a thing that you can up and leave 
I’m not a desperate summer’s eve, and I won’t be treated like a fling 
But for some reason that’s how you treat me 
I’m starting a new season, and I’ll begin a new me 

[Chorus]

Liquid emotions 
Indefinite ocean 
I don’t even notice I’m drifting 
After drinking in slow motion 
When I’m carrying myself through an evil potion 
Wicked intentions and then my volcano’s exploding 

And you don’t even help me 
I used to play make believe with my dreams
And then toss my coins in a wishing well 
But there’s no point, no way in hell 
Streams that form shallow water could really listen to me 
No one, no thing, nothing knows me that well 
I’m under a spell, I’m under a spell
I’m under a spell, I’m under a spell
...But I put it on myself 

[Verse 2]

You don’t want to kick the door in, to what’s inside the six inches between my ears
it’s closed, but for me, it’s open everyday, every night, at all times throughout the year
You don’t want to enter the fun house 
It’s not so fun when you’re the one forever locked in your fears

Even though it’s been abandoned for a while, it still remembers a child’s tears 
And how it feels to feel so lonely, it’s worse than a nightmare 
...To only want someone to care 

[Chorus]

Liquid emotions 
Indefinite ocean 
I don’t even notice I’m drifting 
After drinking in slow motion 
When I’m carrying myself through an evil potion 
Wicked intentions and then my volcano’s exploding 

And you don’t even help me 
I used to play make believe with my dreams
And then toss my coins in a wishing well 
But there’s no point, no way in hell 
Streams that form shallow water could really listen to me 
No one, no thing, nothing knows me that well 
I’m under a spell, I’m under a spell
I’m under a spell, I’m under a spell
...But I put it on myself 

[Verse 3]

My skin’s made out of porcelain and I’ve been 
Dropped one too many times and I have about a thousand cracks in 
My face, but the glue wasn’t strong enough this time 
To put myself back together

[Bridge]

I’d rather be a wilted flower.. and dehydrate 
Than be with a coward.. who migrates 
From door to door, from girl to girl
Every single hour 

[Chorus]

Liquid emotions 
Indefinite ocean 
I don’t even notice I’m drifting 
After drinking in slow motion 
When I’m carrying myself through an evil potion 
Wicked intentions and then my volcano’s exploding 

And you don’t even help me 
I used to play make believe with my dreams
And then toss my coins in a wishing well 
But there’s no point, no way in hell 
Streams that form shallow water could really listen to me 
No one, no thing, nothing knows me that well 
I’m under a spell, I’m under a spell
I’m under a spell, I’m under a spell
...But I put it on myself
