The light refused us with designed intent Into darkness we retreated to seek defense

With patience and logic new hope extends

To be different, to be lucky

And to die happy So I go down, down the stair-air-case

And out, out the front door

There is no time left to waste

A lifetime spent being choked When I'm at school it's like I'm dead

Then the weekend comes and I resurrect

These old fears, these old dreams

They follow, they're chasing me To wipe the cobwebs off my tongue

And try to speak those ancient words again

It's patience and logic that killed true love

Make it easy, stop believing that you can trust someone Go find yourself a dry place

Where the storm can't touch you any more

Lay down and let time waste

A lifetime is being choked 'Cause there's no place left to feel at home

The years have past and I'm alone

With these same fears, these dead dreams

They strangle, they're killing me, me To get far
