lyrics

When the fire goes out it’s hard to ignite it again
Hard to fight it again
The same battle I’ve fought since God knows when
Am I forever at the mercy of some thorn in my flesh
Or is this but another lie that I tell myself (so that I’ll stay like this)

Well, perhaps I’ve had the wrong idea about you
I mean just look at all the hats you wear
Because of what I put you through
And these images I have of what I need you to be
Are merely echoes of the past that keep you
Nailed to a tree (Chained to me)
This is not adoration
Because if it were, I’d let you be free

If to grieve the spirit is worst, I’m frankly screwed
Because I have lived for most my life in a state of lowest altitude
I’ll give you everything I have except the key
To where I hide my heart away (and, oh, it hides away)
Forever pacing by the open door I know will set me free someday (if I would only step into it)

And perhaps one day I’ll be at peace with you
(I hope someday soon)
I’ll release my death grip, and let you be
The childlike wonder in everything
Cos I know I’ve had the wrong idea about You
I am not your whipping boy
And You are not as cruel as this feels

Hmm
Well, I guess I’ve had the wrong idea about you

The eternal stars shine out
As soon as it is dark enough
And oh my god
It’s dark enough, see
The eternal stars shine out
As soon as it is dark enough
And oh my God
It’s time, I’m ready
Singing yeah
I can see a way out now
I can see a way out now
I’m taking higher ground
I can feel it all now
I can feel it all now
You are not so distant
Yeah, I can see a way out now
I can see a way out now
I’m taking higher ground
I can feel it all now
I want to feel it all now
You are not so distant
