Waking up past the weight of your eyelids
And the shapes you chase at the back of your iris
She's dancing into the floor to get near you
She can't fit into her soul without a mirror

She pins me through like an insect neath' a window
She Burns me down just to see if I'll glow

She tears through her tongue 
Just to ask my name

Burning into the strange
Yeah she's burning into the strange

Still broken from my little jailhouse bluejay
She broke into my heart just to point out my chains
We don't speak so that we won't sink
We're free for everything but constraint

Burning into the strange
Burning into the strange

Her heels clicked out the maternity ward
Like her daughter's did between the rope and the floor
Click your heels three times for home
Smoking steel shafts make ugly mother's moan

She tugs them down as if a chain
Cause she put a bullet into her brain
But she left dandelions in mine to spite the rain

Burning into the strange
Now she's burning into the strange
