So far away from here
It's safer there
Blue skies above to fall on you
Far away from here
It's safer there
There's softer ground to lie on
close your eyes and go
You feel it coming
You see the walls crumbling
Protect yourself with
Your books and your stubborn skin
And just pervert it
Manipulate it again
And flow around it like water
You're always changing
So far away from here
The sky is clear
There's softer ground to land on
Far away from me
You say your prayers
There's safety in the number
Just close your eyes and go
a fluid motion
you part and come back again
unharmed devotion
a book and credulous skin
you just pervert it
cite a new definition
and flow around truth
like water
and I'm left to swim
frustrated
and hated again
I'm drowning
in my awkward skin
Castrated
and hated again
i'm waiting
for this dream to end
eyes dilated
Manipulated again
you have your answers
in your books and your magic skin
one more exception
your rules are all crumbling
you flow around it like water
and I'm left to swim
