Magnifying Glasses from Beyond Collaboration by Joedai Trobairitz & Troubadours

V1: sitting on the top of a mountain
contemplating space and time
pink unicorns and fairytale greens
filling my mind up with rhymes

V2: I study all the doings beneath me
seeing how you all survive
day after day there you tally the losses
I’m thankful I’m still alive

Chorus: I sleep at night with my mind in dreams
the visions are offered in muted extremes
magnifying glasses help look past the seams
but the tears in the fabric remain

Break;

Bridge: now I used to be a man
just following a plan
many others had laid out for me
but I cashed my ticket in
said goodbye with a grin
it's on the outside that I wanna be

V3: technicolor vistas surround me
society is all black and white
it all turns to gray when determining the winners
you can’t tell the day from night

V1 Repeat:

Chorus:

Tag: magnifying glasses help look past the seams
but the tears in the fabric remain
the tears in the fabric remain
the tears in the fabric...
