Lyrics for What If You Hypnotise Me?

If you could gift my feelings language Speech is a necessary magic Sometimes Please articulate my anguish Please explain to me why these raindrops accompany Better times, yeah If you could make all the If you could, make the What if, what if, what ifs Just fly away for a minute If you could make all the If you could, make the What if, what if, what ifs Just fly away for a minute (Mmm, I remember) Angels weeping at my bad habits (I remember) Swan matches and smoke dancing on the window pane (E-Expand on that, it's interesting, y'know What else do you remember?) I remember Thinking until my thoughts got damaged (I remember) Someone said that you could help find my thoughts a name (Psycho-ana, hypno-thera, uh Could you find my partner?) Is it that I need some love? Love or the selfish kind? Is it that I need to know? What's in the depth of mind? Indeed, if I do find out Would I just stay confined? Wishful thinking games Wait 'til the stars align Is it because memories break Why I feel lost in time? Is it 'cause I've made mistakes Karma taking flight? But if you could hypnotise me Then maybe then peace would find me Oh, if you could hypnotise me Then maybe then peace would find If you could make all the If you could, make the What if, what if, what ifs Just fly away for a minute (mmm-mmm) If you could make all the If you could, make the What if, what if, what ifs Just fly away for a minute Quiet storms dwelling on what you're not I'll help you find a way out Easily swayed, you're not cautious enough Who made you this way? Travelling inside your confine Traffic in your heart and your mind The spirit of your memory's gone blind There's answers in your body, entwined
