Lời bài hát:

One AM, sitting with shadows
A face distorts in a bottle
Where will it leave me in the end?
One bad trip then another
Think of anything but her stare
As it fragments in my hand

I'd say these scars tell a story, I mean
I'm in the business of lying, to me
I might be the life of the party
With just one light
Truth is
Some days I couldn't be higher
Some days, they set me on fire
Some days I just wanna curl up and

Pull me under, yeah, pull me under
My friends all wonder
Where's the boy that they knew?
'Cause with every blunder
I have to wonder, can't I understand
This numb fantasy is no wonderland

Headache, cracked lips and red-eye
Another day I'm high and dry
Just a-lying on the floor
Falling apart since I was four
I draw the curtains, close the door
Can't hurt to have one more

Won't say what doesn't need knowing, but yeah,
Lines on my arms always showing
A map of places I have been going
Behind their backs
But then
All trains will terminate somewhere
All brains break down in the dead air
All veins go cold in a heart attack

Pull me under, yeah (One AM, sitting with shadows)
Pull me under (A face distorts in a bottle)
My friends all wonder (Where)
"Where's the boy that we knew?" (Will it leave me in the end?)
'Cause with every blunder (One bad trip then another)
I have to wonder, can't I understand (Think of anything but her stare as it fragments)
This numb fantasy is no wonderland
Wo-oah

Circlejourney ✑ booklet commentary

No Wonderland was written as a character song for bonebark’s Justin Hallworth, a nightclub owner with more issues than the New York Times. The lyrics explore his turbulent life and the problems he’s made a habit of ignoring.

This song continues to be one of my favourites, especially lyrically. Few things feel better than coming up with satisfying paired internal rhymes, and the song’s slow tempo gave me room to sneak in a lot of these.
