Foundation Lyrics by Public Practice

Distance Is a Mirror

2018

[Intro]
What use is a rational mind
When speaking with the sick?
The damaged?
They have no use for logic
There is only one way
And it is not mine
Walk through our house
I slipped into a room
I closed the door and jumped out the window
Running through the grass
Down the street
Looking for a new house to call my own
That old house was crumbling
The foundation, cracked

Built this new house
The type of walls I learned from you
This mess got the best of me, best of you

What use is improvement
Walls to keep the sickness on the inside, outside
Inside, outside, inside, outside
Inside, outside, inside, outside
Inside, outside, inside, outside

Strength and structure built this house and there's no room for you
Too bad these things always work out this way, that way
This way, that way
This way, that way

Distance is a mirror
Shifting my perception of reality
'flecting everything that I knew, I knew, I knew

Distance is a mirror
Shifting my perception of reality
'flecting everything that I know, you know, I know, you know
I know, you know, I know, you know
I know, you know, I know, you know
I know, you know, I know, you know...

[Outro]
Walk up this new house
And there is no trace left of you
I do not see your shadow
I only see myself in these walls
That old house was crumbling
The foundation, cracked
