lyrics

Somewhere left outside this place was never meant for me
Though my leaving is a burden, a perfect tragedy
I watch the boats drift by as they go sailing out from you to me
I’m caught between the parting sea
This is no life for me to lead
And like branding of the cattle we’re just numbers you and me
No room to float away they watch us closely as it seems
And if you ever get the courage just to ask them “let me be”
Just warn me so I can show them some unneeded decency

Hanging on the rafters marks up on the wall
We never need to testify the power protests all
And if you ever need a comfy seat I’d gladly lend my chair but I swear to you it’s not as cozy as it looks from over there
Depart with just a question never show you’re scared, the dreams that are inside of you need to stay up in your head
You wake up and you lick the wounds from which once you had bled
To kill the dreams inside of me’s to kill my only friend

What we ruined it was over just as soon as it began, like the tin foil once crumpled it can never be perfect again
I’ll get by by myself by taking this all as a joke
Words to just bring out a smile make my laugh until I choke
While I’m breaking underwater this I only understand, one of us had to leave ourselves just to be the bigger man
I noticed it was you who reached out and held my hand but when I called out for your help all alone was how I’d stand

Somewhere left outside this place was never meant for me
Though my leaving is a burden, a perfect tragedy
I watch the boats drift by as they go sailing out from you to me
I’m caught between the parting sea
This is no life for me to lead
And like branding of the cattle we’re just numbers you and me
No room to float away they watch us closely as it seems
And if you ever get the courage just to ask them “let me be”
Just warn me so I can show them some unneeded decency
