Dorian - Confidence Groove in the Mirror

[Intro] [Verse] The floor is scarred by a thousand slides Under bulbs that flicker like dying stars You check the glass where your ghost resides Tracing the map of your hidden scars The salt is stinging your tired eyes While the shadows stretch across the wall You ignore the weight of the heavy skies Waiting for the moment you might fall [Pre-Chorus] But the grin you wear is a jagged blade Cutting through the doubt that fills the air Every stumble is a choice you made In the quiet of this vacant lair [Chorus] Carry that fire in a hollow chest Mock the wind until the storm subsides Put the shivering heart to a final test Where the steel and the spirit collide Laugh at the clock on the dusty shelf Bet it all on a desperate hand Find the truth in a fractured self And take a stand on the shifting sand [Verse] Your boots are worn to a thin veneer Moving to a sound only you can find The jokes you crack are the things you fear Leaving the safety of the world behind A crooked smile for a crooked road Counting the pulse in a frantic wrist You carry the heat of a heavy load Lost in the swirl of the morning mist [Pre-Chorus] But the grin you wear is a jagged blade Cutting through the doubt that fills the air Every stumble is a choice you made In the quiet of this vacant lair [Chorus] Carry that fire in a hollow chest Mock the wind until the storm subsides Put the shivering heart to a final test Where the steel and the spirit collide Laugh at the clock on the dusty shelf Bet it all on a desperate hand Find the truth in a fractured self And take a stand on the shifting sand [Chorus] Carry that fire in a hollow chest Mock the wind until the storm subsides Put the shivering heart to a final test Where the steel and the spirit collide Laugh at the clock on the dusty shelf Bet it all on a desperate hand Find the truth in a fractured self And take a stand on the shifting sand [Chorus] Carry that fire in a hollow chest Mock the wind until the storm subsides Put the shivering heart to a final test Where the steel and the spirit collide Laugh at the clock on the dusty shelf Bet it all on a desperate hand Find the truth in a fractured self And take a stand on the shifting sand [Outro]
