deep inside the house of mirrors
i lost my soul
i searched aimless for days
but right at the core
guess what i found?

locked away in my memories
a vision i cant seem to shake:
a lonely girl in the mezzanine
begging everyone to stay

oh darling please
hold onto me
so i dont float away
ill take on whatever shape that you please
a balloon animal

theres an unpleasant taste
a spoonful of sugar should
keep bitter medicine down
paint my face like a circus clown
what comes around goes around

locked away in my memories
a vision i cant seem to shake:
a lonely girl in the mezzanine
begging everyone to stay

oh darling please
hold onto me
so i dont float away
ill take on whatever shape that you please
a balloon animal

who do you think you are
trying to tempt your fate?
i tend to get carried away
and some things will never change

its not good to be pliable
im unreliable
feel undeniably lost
and if i get too eager its easy to pop me

unsheathe your blade
let me be tossed away
in the mezzanine
ill rework myself
rearranging, obtaining and straining me

i was meant to be
more than scenery
but id rather be scared than alone

oh darling please
hold onto me
so i dont float away
ill take on whatever shape that you please
a balloon animal

ill write
myself a world
free from the shackles of pain
cast off the burden of shame

concede to my innocence
why do i always expect to be
so let down?
wishing for more just gets you burned

youre tethered now
no one to hurt or disappoint
if youre not around
so do them a favor

bow yourself out
i feel so light
my feet leaving the ground
i gently drift away
