if i could have some distance, build up some walls
i could use the resistance, i wouldn't think at all
in a still standing river, so cold you can't feel
i'd cut out my liver, and allow it to heal
*i let my life go down when there ain't no one around
i lead my sights and sounds all the way into the ground
i want to see you but i’m liking the pain
i want to hear you but i must be insane*
i'd let the knife go down, stop looking for answers
it would sink to the ground, by the footprints of dancers
in this place far away, i could go insane
unaware of the day, surrounded by rain
