Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Orange clocks dripping from the ceiling tiles
Josh Number 5 is laughing in the violet miles
He's wearing yesterday's tomorrow on his sleeve
Counting backwards while the galaxies leave
His shadow splits in seven neon directions
One stays behind to ask the mirror questions
Fingers made of smoke, he's signing autographs in flame
Every signature forgets his name
[Chorus]
Josh Number 5
Where you going when the colors die?
Dancing on the ceiling of a butterfly
Josh Number 5
Are you me or am I you?
Melting through the ceiling made of déjà vu
[Verse 2]
He's riding on a carpet made of breathing trees
Whispering equations only bumblebees can read
Time is folding paper swans inside his chest
Every heartbeat is a different kind of guest
The flowers have opinions and they're screaming them in chords
He's translating through a mouth full of glowing swords
Says the universe is just a game that children play
When the grown-ups all forgot the way
[Chorus]
Josh Number 5
Where you going when the colors die?
Dancing on the ceiling of a butterfly
Josh Number 5
Are you real or are you me?
Spilling through the cracks of what we used to be
[Bridge] [Whispered] [Layered] [Phasing]
Five is not a number
Five is not a name
Five is what remains
When nothing looks the same
Turn the dial sideways
Let the static breathe
Josh is in the static
Josh is in the leaves
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Josh Number 5,
Don't you leave me in this grayscale sky
Take me where the river runs with liquid lies
Josh Number 5
I'm dissolving into you
Every version of me wants to follow you
[Outro] [Echo][Distant]
Josh
Number 5
Josh
Number 5
[Fade Out]
We were never really here
We were never really five
Let the static breathe
