please don't take me now, hide us under the floor so they'll never know, but we're all enemies here 'cause the fear is sown, can't trust our own, catch me by surprise then it’s always the same, dress it up in disguise, I’ll remember the names, and keep wearing the shame, please don’t take me now, keep the keys to the kingdom, jangle them high, we’ll keep thinking in circles, the gramophone mind, keeps buzzing in time, I’m pushing ahead, I’ll take the blame, just leave me enough in this ugly refrain, so I can go home again

lost 04:09
can’t get it back, retrace my steps to find where I left it last, swallowed by the night, knock on its teeth to find it won’t open wind, miss it when it goes, ask to find where it went but no one really knows, maybe it was never really there, and I can’t stand that I still care
3.
good night, sleep tight, the world will be waiting for you while you sleep, another day, you’re on your way, and your head begins to fill with all that noise, and alone in the trees, no one sees but me, the wind in the leaves, the forest for the trees, and you’re lost inside those deep and darkening woods, remember me as you pass me by, as you are now so once was I, and alone in the trees no one sees but me
4.
be here 03:36
be here, when your mind is drifting, be here, because you’re always missing, when you’re here, you will find all that you left behind, be here, when the pins comes loose, be here, when the static balloons, when you’re here, you will see all of the devils you heed, be here, because you want to be, be here, not for god but for me, and then soon you we will be all that we wanted to be
5.
give a song to sing, polish up those bells so we may ring in, the time to claim our riches, it’s beyond anything we can picture, show us all the way, guide us in strength and we’ll patiently wait for, a time to call our own, under the sun a new day is born, in our golden future time, talk the way you do, hypnotic and strange, a preacher of change, keep the fire bright, and I’ll dream of the day you keep saying awaits me, in our golden future time, it’s our golden future time, we may be gone before it breaks, but we must toil for freedoms sake
6.
I had a bird in the hand, was told to keep it closed because no one knows, what that bird thinks it deserves, sing to me please, because I need to know what isn’t so, so I can dream in coloured schemes, round and round we go, where it stops no one really knows, fly, I’ll keep you low, so no one will know, I had a bird in the hand, was told to keep it closed because no one knows, what that bird think it deserves, sing to me please, because I need to hear what isn’t clear, so I know enough not to hold it near, round and round we go, where it stops no one really knows, fly, I’ll let you go, with a greater hope

fly 03:41
Fly, how high did she fly? Fly, they’re asking how high? At the window trying to find her way, say she’s looking for her mother’s gate, part the clouds and open up the sky, she says, strap my wings on and, fly, how high did she fly? Fly, they’re asking how high? Say she floats around her room at night, don’t wake me up ‘cause I might miss her flight, kiss me at the gate and say goodbye, she says, I’m going up there tonight, fly, how high did she fly? Fly, they’re asking how high? Fly, how high did she fly? Fly, bring her down from the sky, I’ve been working round the clock, trying my best to make her stop, running in the wind she’ll fly, grab her feet before she gets too high, fly, how high did she fly? Fly, they’re asking how high? Fly, how high did she fly? Fly, bring her down from the sky? Let her go, fly
