Welcome to Claymoore

I arrive with a suitcase and a question mark;

A smile on my face and a spark in the dark;

They took my shoelaces, my book and my name;

Then pointed at a bed like

I counted his game;

Now I'm learning the rules of this glamorous cage;

Hear the hallway hums like a stage set on fire;

Every door has a secret, every eye has a wire;

If I laugh at the thunder, if

I dance with the pain;

Maybe the madness is only a different kind of rain;

Welcome to the world where the cops go in;

When the copy is weak and the truth is near;

Learn to stay a sinner in the spotlight here;

In this little kingdom of the cracked and clear;

We fall apart in rhythm then we sing without fear;

Lisa Angel swinging sarcasm like a key;

All sharp edge grin and electric debris;

Georgina tosses one line as dry as a bowl;

Polly makes soft little prayers out of tone;

Daisy folds her fear in the satin and lace;

Valerie in sensible shoes runs the maze;

And I keep asking if this is me or the mare;

If I'm able to catch what keeps slipping through the trap;

Some call it a sentence, some call it grace;

I call it a chorus in a fluorescent place;

Welcome to the war;

Where the clocks go weird;

Where the copy is weak and the truth is near;

Every state and center, it's a spotlight here;

In this little kingdom of the cracked and clear;

We fall apart in rhythm and we sing without fear;

Under the jokes there is a blade made of a lie;

Every locked door keeps the loneliness tight;

We are not the headlines, not the punchline made true;

Just a pile of bright fractures trying to get through;

So have been the awkward, the broken, the brave;

Welcome to the world where the stocks are weird;

Where the coffee is weak and the truth is near;

Every saint and sinner gets a spot right here;

In this little kingdom of the clock ten clear;

We fall apart in rhythm and we sing without fear;

Back the day nurse on, back the night ship side;

We're still here, still alive, still learning how to fly;

Welcome to our strange little world;

Look us in the eye;
