lyrics

something to say is never enough
it’s something to feed on when we can’t find love
it’s always the same, nobody’s to blame
for feelings of falling inwards, like in some strange game now, endlessly playing

the surfaces here they keep me away
i’m trying to find my way beneath your words
i’m simmering now, i’m out of my head
i’m pulling away from tortions, feelings won’t play dead now, they won’t kow-tow

feels like ants on fire that are burning me now
now if feel it
feels like sunrays shining up from below
can you feel it?

i’m coming to taste a piece of your heart
i’m coming to find the dreams that shape you
i’m burning alive with all i can be
i’m needing to set my sights one some new shining horizon, to swim with poseidon

i’m tight as a drum, too long in the sun
i’ve got to find waterfalls and breezes
i’m bitter and cold, i wish i was kind
i’m wondering if what you might say could save my life now, or maybe not right now

feels like ants on fire that are burning me now
now if feel it
feels like sunrays shining up from below
can you feel it?
