Parlour Magic - The Magdalena Room Lyrics

Broken clocks and faded memories
Looking out the window
Your body starts to let go
False starts and wasted energy
The lights are coming for you
To tell you when it's over

In the back of the Magdalena room
You're running out
Of all the questions that you use
To cast your doubts
As you turn away from cynicism now
See what it's all about

Shattered photographs and final acts
You said it's time to leave her
Put down the receiver
You're far too young
To be saying shit like that
Can't believe it's over
I thought it would destroy her

In the back
Of the Magdalena room
The truth comes out
And all the stories that you use
Don't matter now
As you move away from cynicism now
See what its all about

In the back
Of the Magdalena room
You're losing track
Of this grand finale
That you used to keep around
As you're leaving for the next adventure now
Take one last look around

Cause I'll be out
Of the Magdalena room
Not long from now
If you were hoping to conclude this roundabout
As you're moving towards a new forgiveness now
You trust the mirrors now
