Lyrics – “Strobe lights”
Strobe lights, getting lost in your eyes
Cotton candy haze, floating up in space
Falling where up is down
Screaming but won’t make a sound
Alice, show me your hand
Take it to wonderland
Step into the mirror to bright new dimensions
Where no words are needed to feel the connection
Where clocks never tick and where love is the ending
Come down through the looking glass
Strobe lights, getting lost in your eyes
Cotton candy haze, we’ll float around in space
Skintight, never felt so alive
Caught up in this maze
It’s where I wanna stay
Flying deep underground
Silence never felt so loud
Step into the mirror to bright new dimensions
Where no words are needed to feel the connection
Where clocks never tick and where love is the ending
Come down through the looking glass
Strobe lights, getting lost in your eyes
Cotton candy haze, we’ll float around in space
Skintight, I feel so alive
Caught up in this maze
It’s where I wanna stay
That’s where I wanna stay
That’s where I wanna ѕtаy
