Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wouldn't you like to know?
How it would feel if you went uncloaked
Curious if it'd be less dispiriting?
Or would this make things more delimiting?
We each don a spiritual mantle
An encasing hideaway that ain't scantle
Obscuration's quantity is bottomless
The amount of concealment is countless
What are we hiding for?
Suppression has been here since yore
It's all rhetorical
Unveiling feels theoretical
Cover-ups occurred at random
We all memorized the covert anthem
The variety of reasons refract
Of course, none of them detract
Solid slats were implemented justifiably
Bundled with metal awnings
Louvers came in the bulk
Jalousies are a feature to hide the sulk

[Pre-Chorus]
The shattering of oneself would let them see
But would that mean that you'd be freed?
It's unbeknownst to you
Unconfirmed for me

[Chorus]
Viewable outward
Viewable outward
Would it be relieving to be shown?
Unconcealed from what shields us most
Revealing the shutters to what we home
Could being perceivable be gold?
Viewable outward
Viewable outward

[Verse 2]
Make the shroud into shards of a glass veil
Why not bring out the hooded details?
Neither of us are made of loam or chrome
Fragile forms are what we own
Could you visualize the possibility?
Or is it unforeseeable due to hostility?
See-through has its pros and cons
Would it be favorable if inward were gone?
Our inner selves would become archaic
And from there, we'd turn trochaic
Shifting the undisclosed to societal
No longer withheld, but wholly perceptible
We'd be fracturing what had us fastened
Smashing apart the panels that broadened
Freeing ourselves from the clad enclosures
Turning our safeguards into sheer exposure
The breakage wouldn't be translucent
The pieces would come out incandescent
But golden fragments are double-edged
Some say they'll hedge, but it's all alleged

[Pre-Chorus]
The shattering of oneself would let them see
But would that mean that you'd be freed?
It's unbeknownst to you
Unconfirmed for me

[Chorus]
Viewable outward
Viewable outward
Would it be relieving to be shown?
Unconcealed from what shields us most
Revealing the shutters to what we home
Could being perceivable be gold?
Viewable outward
Viewable outward

[Bridge]
There's a dome that encloses what hides
If it got publicly eyed, would it be taken fine?
It's unknown to I
Maybe it'd be alright

[Chorus]
Viewable outward
Viewable outward
Would it be relieving to be shown?
Unconcealed from what shields us most
Revealing the shutters to what we home
Could being perceivable be gold?
Viewable outward
Viewable outward

[Outro]
Can't we be as transparent as jellyfish?
Transparency would embellish
