Why?
Why did we come so close?
Guess I found out the valley played a secret note
I couldn't assemble anybody to close the gates for good
Drop it on down
They found my body
You're so misunderstood
Fine, it was not the best approach
Guess you don't long to keep your filthy wings afloat
You caught me with the seed you're throwing
I'll try to stay polite
It might be best to run except I want to get a ride
I couldn't imagine anybody would close the gates for good
Walking on down they found our bodies frozen where we stood
We were alone
We were alone
We were alone
You called; you sang to me the secret that's been hiding in your name
My fever's strong enough
I don't know what's right
Do I cool or keep it on the flame?
Lead me to the death you're stowing
I'll try to stay polite
It might be best to run except I want to get inside
Someday I'll evade you and I'll close the gates for good
Lest we slowly drown our bodies longer than we should

Shake my senses awake
When i don't know what to say
Or what troubles await
Fading in the sun
Another page is gone
I'm going back to one
Until I'm finally caught
It's always the end of the day
It's the skin that I've stretched out and sewn to my face
Now the spirit is gone from my veins
Will I find something better beneath the remains?
Did I wave my flag too soon?
You weren't afraid to move
I could've done the same
Oh god, I never wanted to stay
So slow this playback down
Cut around
And I'll try to work it out
From my little hole in the ground
I struggle without any weight
My paper-thin purpose is floating away
Because the spirit is gone from my veins
So I'll find something better beneath the remains
Run from me
Will you run from here?
Separate until we disappear
Settle in with the nervous thought that you can't go back
I can't go back
It's always the end of the day
It's the skin that I've stretched out and sewn to my face
Now the spirit is gone from my veins
Will I find something better beneath the remains?
