Caught in a Window Pane Lyrics

Under the weight of fifty messages

And the smell of a broken maze

I found ancient miniature wreckages

Of a secret in a window pane

You could see a reflection of a hand

Being held against a sunset

And a feeling you can't understand

Left me with an aching head

You said three words, the worst lie you've ever told

You watched the trees burn, the best nightmare you can hold

But in the window pane, your eyes were closed

You'd been caught but you didn't know

Empty prose in unchecked drafts

An excuse in a loosely bound paragraph

You look like you've lost your bearings

Now that everyone's frowning and staring

As if there was a worse way

Than being caught in a window pane

You said three words, the worst lie you've ever told

You watched the trees burn, the best nightmare you can hold

But in the window pane, your eyes were closed

You'd been caught but you didn't know

You didn't know
