Nothing in this world could make me talk
I'm nailed to this floor where there is no air
Alone I see myself and stare
Locked inside this world you gave me
It's lonely here through the smoke I can't see clear
And I know all the ways and I'll try
And I've seen all the places I get eyed
If I bear myself in the yard
Would the end of the day always seem so hard
Wait for the world to turn around
Then I won't go up or down
Gentle winds must sometimes sit
The face that looks on in my mirror
And I know all the ways and I can try
And I've seen all the places where I hide
If I bear myself out in the yard
Would the end of the day always be so hard
Standing on the edge of the wall
Sometimes I get too close and I fall, yeah
And I know all the ways and I can try
And I've seen all the places where I hide
If I bear myself in the yard
Would the end of the day always be so hard
Well all the nights last a thousand years
When you're in a time that feels so near
I'll just say you were the word I found
And then I won't go up or down
And I know all the ways and I can try
And I've seen all the places where I hide
If I bear myself in the yard
Would the end of the day always be so hard
Standing on the edge of the wall
Sometimes I look down and I fall, yeah
Just standing on the edge of the wall
I always go to far and I fall, yeah
Standing by myself on the sidewalk Nothing in this world could make me talk I'm nailed to this floor where there is no air Alone I see myself and stare Locked inside this world you gave me It's lonely here through the smoke I can't see clear And I know all the ways and I'll try And I've seen all the places I get eyed If I bear myself in the yard Would the end of the day always seem so hard Wait for the world to turn around Then I won't go up or down Gentle winds must sometimes sit The face that looks on in my mirror And I know all the ways and I can try And I've seen all the places where I hide If I bear myself out in the yard Would the end of the day always be so hard Standing on the edge of the wall Sometimes I get too close and I fall, yeah And I know all the ways and I can try And I've seen all the places where I hide If I bear myself in the yard Would the end of the day always be so hard Well all the nights last a thousand years When you're in a time that feels so near I'll just say you were the word I found And then I won't go up or down And I know all the ways and I can try And I've seen all the places where I hide If I bear myself in the yard Would the end of the day always be so hard Standing on the edge of the wall Sometimes I look down and I fall, yeah Just standing on the edge of the wall I always go to far and I fall, yeah Explain Request ×
