Lyrics The Mirror-Blue Night [Jonathan Groff/Boys]

[boys]
Flip on a switch, and everything's fine –
No more lips, no more tongue, no more ears, no more eyes
The naked blue angel, who peers through the blinds
Disappears in the gloom of the mirror-blue night

[melchior]
But there's nowhere to hide from these bones, from my mind
It's broken inside – I'm a man and a child
I'm at home with a ghost, who got left in the cold
Who knocks at my peace, with no keys to my soul

[boys]
And the whispers of fear, the chill up the spine
Will steal away too, with a flick of the light
The minute you do, with fingers so blind
You remove every but of the blue from your mind

[melchior]
But there's nowhere to hide from the ghost in my mind
It's cold in these bones – of a man and a child
And there's no one who knows, and there's nowhere to go
There's no one to see who can see to my soul
