Put your hand against the door
Do not dare to open it
Can't you hear the howls behind
Just want to save you from harm.
Climb the hill to see the sun Climb the ladder, fall back down.
You would climb the hill to see the sun, But you've climbed the ladder and fell back down.
Should have stayed on the ground,
Should have stayed on the ground,
Should have stayed on the ground,
Should have stayed on the ground.
Don't you ever leave the ground again.
Don't you ever leave the ground again.
Don't you ever leave the ground again.
Don't you ever leave me again.
I'm your only friend now,
Why would you disobey me?
Just want to save you from harm
Don't want you to be hurt again.
Bar your windows. Bar your doors.
Watch the news and buy a gun.
Crawl into your safety -
Warm and cozy complacency.
My eyes have turned blind from darkness,
My body is covered in dust.
My legs feel limb from staying still all day
I just wanna see the sunshine
Just wanna hear the birds sing
I just wanna feel the trees grow
I just want to see the sky change.
But you won’t let me.
So I'm killing you within me.
I am killing you within me.
I am killing you within me.
|: You are not good enough :|
The cocoon around me opens.
I reach outside.
The chains you gave me – broken
This is my time
Worthless piece of shit
|: Why do you refuse to be happy? :|
It could be so easy
You could be so happy
All you'd have to do is let go of your misery
That drags you down
Like Sisyphus' stone
All the way into your grave
While all it really takes is for your paradigms to change.
