Don't want to go where they are cruel and cold
Turning me into stone, making me dry
Give me this warmth, a sunbeam to live in, a window to look out of?br> Misery blooms on the stem of suppression
The world that you see is the one you believe
Sleeping in poppies, lost in the forest
Out of the sky, into the sea,
Disappear under here pulled by the tide
Give me an island; I am an island
Don't want to go where they pull out the mold,
Casting me out of clay, making me dry
Give me this warmth, a sunbeam to live in, a window to look out of?br> Shut out the sights, pull tight the sheets,
They live in the dark and their faces you see
By the sliver of light through a cracked open door?
Castles and kings await you my sweet
Dragons will fly you far, far from here
Where the concrete enfolds you
And they mould you of steel
We're on a wire but it's better than drowning
And I don't care if I fall cuz I've never been higher
Everythings changing but I don't care for sameness
'Cause safety makes graves of the fearful I find
A ride on a wave, a home on a wind-blown cloud
Make your body loud for me
Could you be safe in my arms, and scared at the same time
Running towards and away 'til you're standing still
The mystery's calling, come if you dare
And find what is there when you tear down the walls
No you're gonna wait til the moment is certain
While I've been out searching for reasons to fall
Hard is the ground you're wrapping your arms around
Turning me into stone, making me dry
Give me this warmth, a sunbeam to live in, a window to look out of?br> Misery blooms on the stem of suppression
The world that you see is the one you believe
Sleeping in poppies, lost in the forest
Out of the sky, into the sea,
Disappear under here pulled by the tide
Give me an island; I am an island
Don't want to go where they pull out the mold,
Casting me out of clay, making me dry
Give me this warmth, a sunbeam to live in, a window to look out of?br> Shut out the sights, pull tight the sheets,
