- spits out our voices singing,
- “sha la la, oh, no no,”
- to kingdom come so slightly.
- here in the void in your place,
- i twitch and tweak an illusion
- to sit and stare so blankly
- until our hope is used up.
- why do i always seem to need you when you're fleeing?
- where do you go when i'm around?
- what have i done? what have i lost that's so defeating?
- and have the nerve to wear a crown?
- oh
- na na na na na na, hey! hey! (
- some unguarded room
- a smoky figure fills me full,
- makes my head swell and ruin.
- the family kneels at the pew,
- they nod – ‘we believe in what you're doing'
- i feel you rise above me,
- the western landscape's towering,
- and from my shell of a body
- the flowers blossom for picking.
- why do i always seem to need you when you're fleeing?
- where do you go when i'm around?
- what have i done, what have i got that's so defeating?
- and have the nerve to wear a crown?
- oh
- na na na na na na, hey! hey!
- i've waited and waited for someone to take it
- don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another
- don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together
- i've learned well; now hear me, there's much to be fearing
- i'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction
- i've painted your patterns but found them attractive
- now i've been leaning towards a life far more candid,
- though lead through the dark with your eyes as my candles
- where your life and my life's directions can wrangle
- and all of a sudden you've left me to handle
- the reasons that never forbid me to stand tall
- and somehow, oh somehow i found out the secret
- to staying alive without actually breathing
