lyrics

I want to run and hide
Like a frightened kid
From the shadows cast
By the flag half mast
Hanging overhead

So I tried to catch your eye
And right the wrong I did
But you were looking past
Every line I cast
Like your lungs had turned to lead

And now my chest is tightening
My will is wearing thin
I feel the tensions heightening
From outside looking in

I want to stop inside
And tighten up the lid
Seeing time slip past
Through an hourglass
Crawling back to bed

I’m like a setting sun
On a mirrored sea
I’m a sinking star
Swimming out too far
As the waves wash over me

And now my chest is tightening
My will is wearing thin
And I know you find it frightening
To see the state I’m in

Wide-eyed at the wheel of a spinning top
Shaking like a leaf ‘til the ringing stops

And now my chest is tightening
My will is wearing thin
I feel the tensions heightening
From outside looking in
