lyrics

if you pull the adhesive from under your skin
will I see your heart beating?
I can't get anywhere with you
on a day like this I sit back and wonder what I missed

if the demons inside my head would pull me out of bed
you'd see me earlier or I'd see you instead

buildings to trees to waterside
and the bay back to trees to the roads to the seas
and the city on the side; when do my eyes close?
where do I go now?

if you pull the adhesive from under your skin
will I see your mind working?
and it clings to me like a disease
and I can't push it away
you treat me like a stranger
like before we met that day

buildings to trees to waterside
and the bay back to trees to the roads to the seas
and the city on the side; when do my eyes close?
where do I go about now?

like the weight of the world is coming home
like the edge of the sun is falling down
I can promise you, I'll be alright
maybe not today, not tonight

I said my goodbyes to you
'cause I knew this couldn't fall through
