Lonely boy, where do we go I'm stuck believing in the other side Stuck on my own Run fast, you're dreaming No place to hide Safety in things i'm dumb for thinking 'Cuz a piece of plastic Is nothing more than a piece of plastic Empty streets under my feet How did we get so far? From the general beat Across that great Held fast together in the dying day Oh you are swimming inside the magic hour Oh and when you wet your skin You can suck up all you need to know You can suck up all you need to know, oh oh Picture me, how will you picture me when i am dead? All fast and free, building a fantasy with blocks in my head A legacy, do these things disapate in the years unread? I've got a pain just like a knife, and the time has left me Oh i'm just trying to do my best I'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death Build my love in the things i say You've gotta lift your face to the breaking day Oh i'm just trying to do my best I'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death Build my love in the things i say You've gotta lift your face to the breaking day So i ran and i jumped and i flew till i came to the center of An earth so cold And the wind picked me up and took me straight to the belly of The fears i hold And i ran and i ran and i ran and i ran Then i came right back Threw my arms around you, You were dressed in black, I'm so glad i found you For they burned my stuff, Objects all around me Memories outlast things, Memories astound me To a fate like this Keep your body down to the ground To the soil that we love so much I always wanted to return Return to the place where i was born I always wanted to return And i ran and i ran and i ran Oh i'm just trying to do my best I'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death Build my love in the things i say You've gotta lift your face to the breaking day Oh i'm just trying to do my best I'm not afraid of life, i'm afraid of death Build my love in the things i say You've gotta lift your face to the breaking day Because in time it leaves you, It leaves you like blood, red blood It leaves you like blood, red blood It leaves you like blood, red blood It leaves you like blood, red blood
