Lyrics

I’ve had wicked dreams that stain my heart
I’m floating above the reeds of Horicon Marsh
Haunted by creatures and three-headed snakes
They’ve been feeding me lies and calling it fate
So, I’m caught between the truth and the family story
Catholic verse and mystical warning
I’m still making up moves on the Checkerboard Flooring

Well, nothing’s as it seems when the words fall out
I’m a pawn with the kings and queens, I feel like walkin’ out
Strange conversations with a devil man
While eating the fruit from a foreign land
Now, I’m caught between the truth and the family story
Catholic verse and mystical warning
I’m still making up moves on the Checkerboard Flooring

I’m a batwing doll in a grey costume
Pitchin’ fits ‘cause I want all and daddy’s turning blue
He gave me answers, broken and bent
But I’ll never know what his words actually meant
Now, I’m caught between the truth and the family story
Catholic verse and mystical warning
I’m still making up moves on the Checkerboard Flooring

So, I’m caught between the truth and the family story
Catholic verse and mythical glory
I’m still making up moves on the Checkerboard Flooring
