The walls caved in and then all around desolate,
Triggered a new despair.
The rainbowâs colour underlined,
âExit to the left.â
They wander in and out,
I scream and shout.
Low on health, though,
But who said weâre not afraidâ¦
Thatâs all Iâll ever be,
Thereâs one thing the books could not teach.
So take my hand and weâll lead them all
To the pastures that used to be green.
One last kiss from me,
A futile attempt to save.
So grab my wrists and the flood cuts in
To the pasture that used to be green.
(Pick it up!) Try to stop but I keep pinning up all my hopes
That youâd stop thinking about yourself;
Your arched pose, looking so sublime,
The only image I have left.
You wander in and out,
While I scream and shout.
Moisture on our lips,
I held you so tight, the balance tipped,
The walls caved in and then all around desolate,
Triggered a new despair.
The rainbowâs colour underlined,
âExit to the left.â
They wander in and out,
On deaf ears we shout.
Low on health, though,
But who said weâre not afraidâ¦
Thatâs all Iâll ever be,
Thereâs one thing the books could not teach.
So take my hand and weâll lead them all
To the pastures that used to be green.
One last kiss from me,
A futile attempt to save.
So grab my wrists and the flood cuts in
To the pasture that used to be green, dull green!
Well it twisted like vines and I, I tried to free myself,
These blistered hands, tattered, closed, mopped as I wept.
Youâre like a vine, I, I tried to free myself,
These blistered hands, tattered, closed, mopped as I wept.
Hooked into a line youâre pulling, twoâs not so perfect now,
Iâm too proud to give up, proud to back down.
Hooked into a line youâre pulling, twoâs not so perfect now,
Iâm too proud to give up, sheâs to proud to back down.
What if I donât get back? What Iâve lost Iâll find a way,
That innocent streak unearthed beneath a blanket of disarray.
Iâve got to dig deep, and hold my head aloft,
All this while hanging from the chopping block.

Iâve got to dig deep, holding my head so aloft,
All this while hanging from the chopping block.
