lyrics

I never cried for a love
that got wrong, wrong, wrong
Way too long, long
Caught in a slumber
I stayed in line, wasted life
left it all unsung
played along and
waited for another one

I used to dream so feverishly
but I got lost inside
With nowhere to go to
To cross the line I had always shunned
I would run, run, run
so sullen and broken

I've been living a life on a leash in
a narrow chamber echoing regrets
I wish I was like a diva with a secret
dark and seductive, vibrant and fearless

I'm longing for promises
heavy, my heart is
I'm craving a piece of bliss
shimmering silver
I could never leave this place
and follow the urge for more

If I got free from the mire
fed the strange desires
filled the void
with purpose and purple
If I could cherish the doubt
and the unknown grounds
I was all about
chaos and glitter

I used to dream so feverishly
(But) I got lost inside
With nowhere to go to
To cross the line I had always shunned

I would run, run, run
so sullen and broken

I've been living a life on the leash of
an agoraphobic pessimistic evil
Wish I could torch this web of pins and needles
Burn it all down, spot a chance and then seize it

I'm longing for promises
heavy, my heart is
I'm craving a piece of bliss
shimmering silver
I could never listen to
you and your big ideas
The fall came before the pride
could ever bloom in me
