Lyrics
Inside here I rest in the idea
That I’m saving you
But years pass as you struggle
Thinking I wish to leave this house
But the old place you showed me
Abandoned parts, metal hearts and motors
That beg for attention
To be placed in some fast car
Why do you think I want to leave
When the world is crashing down?
Maybe it was a fleeting thought You’d drown
without my strong arms pulling you out
Your silence is hurtful
I misunderstand everything about it
I’m different and useless
You told me to go away
But I lingered in the mystery
While you dwell in underground places
I go looking at stars
Maybe bring back the light from
Behind the clouds
