I was cold
insulated by the bodies of colleagues surrounding me
I was physical
but no less scared
I was naked
frozen to the bones
there was no blood but ice under my skin
I was physical
so they took me in
I am twisted
they've broken all my bones
left me with blood and heart and mind and soul
I am physical
so they let me go
The sunlight is fading
the sunlight is going down
cry me a river
never let me drown
I have
taken what I want
taken what I need
but who's gonna keep me company?
who's gonna keep me company?
The sunlight is fading
the sunlight is going down
cry me a river
pray that I don't drown
I have
taken what I want
taken what I need
but who's gonna keep me company?
who's gonna keep me company?
I am twisted
they've broken all my bones
left me with blood and heart and mind and soul
I am physical
and they let me go
The sunlight is fading, yeah
the sunlight is going down
cry me a river
pray that I don't drown
I have
taken what I want
taken what I need
but who's gonna keep me company?
who's gonna keep me company?

She was a black star in the moonlight
and a quick fix in the morning
she got what she wanted
and anything worth taking
she lived like a secret and she lived like a sinner
but god had forbade her
so she took what she was given
She said
come we'll walk these streets alone
and if you hold my hand I'll hold your heart
come walk these streets alone
and if you hold my hand I'll hold your heart
She asked too many questions
and she learned from their answers
stuck
without colour
she learned she was golden
cold hearted and lonely
she would search herself for an answer that was lost
so she threw herself
into the water
She had tried
to cross these streets alone
and if you hold my hand I'll hold your heart
come walk these streets alone
and if you hold my hand I'll hold your heart
But we lost faith
she would hide behind her golden throne
and god forbid she ever went away
Forsake me
close my eyes and god has found me
suffocating, choking on the words i've made
waiting
the water is invading
distracting me and keeping me awake
Come we'll walk these streets alone
and if you hold my hand I'll hold your heart
come walk these streets alone
and if you hold my hand I'll hold your heart

They took me to a place
where the sky is brighter than anything
the water shone like fire
and the land was stronger than anything
the birds flew straight and gracefully
their tameness lacking nothing
and the minds of all the men
expected nothing less
They took me to a room
and showed me round its content
children and the young
playing feeling content
I spoke with each in turn
and messed up all the context
they all said the same
seeming calm
They'll hide it all away and pretend they're so much friendlier
before unveiling really
theres something slightly deadlier here
they'll leave us all behind
they'll waste us all away
but we'll still
dance the night away
dance us the night away
The knocking on the walls
is getting some more frantic
the carers and the kids
are losing the romance of it
the sky is all dried up
my mind is all tied up
I think I've had enough
Try to leave this place behind
and go somewhere much safer
discover that the pilots gone
and thought himself for greater
runaway and hide
swallow up your pride
take yourself for a ride
They'll hide it all away and pretend they're so much friendlier
before unveiling really
theres something slightly deadlier here
they'll leave us all behind
they'll waste us all away
but we'll still
dance the night away
dance us the night away
I don't want to go much further
I know where the monsters hide
I don't want to hide much longer
Let me back inside
They took me to a place
where the sky is brighter than anything
the water shone like fire
and the land was stronger than anything
They took me to a room
and showed me round its content
children and the young
playing feeling content
The knocking on the walls
is getting some more frantic
the carers and the kids
are losing the romance of it
Try to leave this place behind
and go somewhere much safer
discover that the pilots gone
and thought himself for greater
The knocking on the walls
is getting some more frantic
the carers and the kids
are losing the romance of it
Try to leave this place behind
and go somewhere much safer
discover that the pilots gone
and thought himself for greater
