[Verse 1]
It started as a wish
A cheap thought whispered out loud
Didn't see the risk
In spilling my desire out
It came in like a dream
And left me like a nightmare
I know I made you leave
But I would follow you anywhere
[Chorus]
Enter through the alleyway
Past the invisible door
And all the way down the Escher staircase in the Underworld
It's not the same as before
[Verse 2]
He offered me a gift
To look the other way
Didn't think I'd miss
My blood, my lineage
Too innocent to speak
Too curious to just stare
I know I made you leave
But I will follow you anywhere
[Chorus]
Enter through the alleyway
Past the invisible door
And all the way down the Escher staircase in the Underworld
It's not the same as before
Enter through the garden gate
Past the masquerade room
As the clock winds down, I picture you with a crystal ball
You watch me as I fall, woah oh
[Bridge]
You watch me as I fall
Oh, woah, woah
You watch me as I fall
[Chorus]
Enter through the alleyway
Past the invisible door
And all the way down the Escher staircase in the Underworld
It's not the same as before
Enter through the garden gate
Past the masquerade room
As the clock winds down, I picture you with a crystal ball
You watch me as I fall
