Caught inside, hollow feeling
Faded light, and I'm scared to open my eyes,
One foot first, with a sigh
Into the sun to cast my shadow behind
Oh and it seems - so far away,
My flighty heart should not dismay
Beyond this wall there is a hill
Blushing in the evening still
Buy me time, and let me go
Gotta push away or watch this fire burn out
There's always something, there's always more
Gotta push away or watch this fire burn out
I'm not the villain, that's not my aim
Sometimes the world seems twisted,
Through these eyes that blur with shame
I'm not a thief, it's not my play
Oh just ground the rock, break the wall and shift the clay
Buy me time, and let me go
Gotta push away or watch this fire burn out
There's always something, there's always more
Gotta push away or watch this fire burn out
In earnest I, try tame the beast
A shadow can't be cast without a glow at very least
Stand armed and prepped to stoke the flames
But I'll need a while to navigate my way through this here maze
So buy me time, a simple plea
An attitude that's built and shaped by pure necessity
I struggle through and I dare to dream
Although nostalgia really isn't what it used to be
Buy me time, and let me go
Gotta push away or watch this fire burn out
There's always something, there's always more
Gotta push away or watch this fire burn out
