I float through the ceiling And into your eyes Call me what you like
And don't make a sound The wolf's at the door And all your street fighting years won't help you anymore
You're aching you're breaking And I can see the pain in your eyes Says "Everybody's changing and I don't know why."
The last time You fall on me for anything you like Your one last line You fall on me for anything you like
And if you have a minute why don't we go, Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything, So why don't we go Somewhere only we know?
I know you think I'm holding you down And I've fallen by the wayside now, And I don't understand the same things as you But I do
Bitter and hardened heart Aching, waiting for life to start Meet me in the morning when you wake up Meet me in the morning then you'll wake up
I need a place That's hidden in the deep Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep Though all the world is broken
Nothing left besides this old cathedral Just the sad lonely spires How do you make it right? Oh but you try Is it any wonder I'm tired? Is it any wonder that I feel uptight? Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Oh crystal ball, crystal ball Save us all Tell me life is beautiful Mirror, mirror on the wall
