As close as hearts can be
Your pain and fear, your dreams and hopes
All that you shared with me
I was just a child back then
As I grew up I had to see
Not all those wishes that we have
Become reality
In all those years of doing nothing
But killing time
Having lost my faith, my strength, my power
Was my hardest crime...
I know that you tried hard to save me
When I was about to drown
But your way of trying to help me up
In fact just dragged me down
You've put me in a golden cage
All luxuries we shared
You hoped I would feel safe and warm
But in fact I just felt scared
After all those years of doing nothing
But killing time
In the end I felt like a prisoner
Of my image you designed...
In a moment of rage I broke out of that cage
Spread my wings and found I could fly
In a moment of pain I broke free from the chain
Much too long I had lived a lie
In the end I just had too much
Of the getting in and out of touch
Of all that moving forth and moving back again
Men of steel turn into men of rust
Before they either bite the dust
Or simply run away if they still can...
There was a time when we were As close as hearts can be Your pain and fear, your dreams and hopes All that you shared with me I was just a child back then As I grew up I had to see Not all those wishes that we have Become reality In all those years of doing nothing But killing time Having lost my faith, my strength, my power Was my hardest crime... I know that you tried hard to save me When I was about to drown But your way of trying to help me up In fact just dragged me down You've put me in a golden cage All luxuries we shared You hoped I would feel safe and warm But in fact I just felt scared After all those years of doing nothing But killing time In the end I felt like a prisoner Of my image you designed... In a moment of rage I broke out of that cage Spread my wings and found I could fly In a moment of pain I broke free from the chain Much too long I had lived a lie In the end I just had too much Of the getting in and out of touch Of all that moving forth and moving back again Men of steel turn into men of rust Before they either bite the dust Or simply run away if they still can...
