My Own Mess

No more (Kings)

[Intro]
(Do you feel them?)
(Do you feel them watching?)

[Verse 1]
There's a weight above the ceiling that we're never meant to see
Fingers longer than the highways pulling strings we call "free"
Every breath you think you're taking, every step you think you choose
They're the ones who move the current, they're the ones who light the fuse

[Pre-Chorus]
And sometimes late at night I feel it—
A tickle on my skin
Like something reaching through the fabric
From the world that we're trapped in

[Chorus]
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
Giant hands we've never known
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
Pulling flesh, conducting bone!
We're the dolls beneath the floorboards
We're the shadows of their storm
TONIGHT THE GIANTS RAGE IN HEAVEN
AND WE DANCE TO KEEP THEM WARM!

[Verse 2]
Watch the cars move like they're dreaming on an invisible track
Every baby born is molded by the hands behind the black
Lightning's just their fingertips tapping on our paper sky
We mistake the strings for freedom, we mistake the cage for "why"

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel the tremors building?
Something's wrong up there tonight
Halloween—the veil is thinning
And the storm's becoming bright

[Chorus]
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
Giant hands we've never known
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
Pulling flesh, conducting bone!
We're the dolls beneath the floorboards
We're the shadows of their storm
TONIGHT THE GIANTS RAGE IN HEAVEN
AND WE DANCE TO KEEP THEM WARM!

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
They made the mothers, made the fathers
Made the children made of dust
We're scratching at dimensions
While they cradle us in rust

Feel the tickle? That's them moving
Feel the shiver? That's them near
On Halloween the storm breaks open—
AND THE GIANTS SHOW NO FEAR!

[Final Chorus]
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
Gods we'll never understand!
THEY'RE ABOVE! THEY'RE ABOVE!
We're the puppets in their hands!
We're the echoes in the basement
We're the trembling, we're the swarm
THE GIANTS SCREAM TONIGHT IN THUNDER
AND WE DANCE INSIDE THEIR STORM!

[Outro]
(The storm is here...)
(Can you feel them now?)
(They're dancing too...)
(They're dancing too...)

Do you feel them?
