need to get out

So I kept you in a dream

Didn't realise, so it seems

Until the restless days

Gave way to endless sleep

And you always were the one

But when all is said and done

I'm haunted by your ghost 

I'm holding the gun 

I, I,  need to get out of

Here, here, I’m running away 

Again out of fear 

That I'll fail again

Feel this pain again 

I'm ashamed and then 

I kept you in a box

Heavy chain, heavier lock

Wore the key around my neck

So delicate 

When I looked in the mirror

The image blurred, didn’t get clearer 

I’m a stranger to myself

I’m holding a dagger 

I, I,  need to get out of

Here, here,  I’m running away 

Again out of fear 

That I'll fail again

Feel this pain again 

I'm ashamed and then 

I kept you for myself

Didn’t need anyone else

Then the loneliness 

Began to settle in 

I tried to ignore it

Broke through like a torrent

Now the water washes

Away all of our sins

I, I, need to get out of 

Here, here I‘m running away 

Again out of fear

That I’ll fail again

Feel this pain again

I’m ashamed and then
