I can't believe i have grown so tall
To still be ruled by fear
I close my eyes on the long fall
Push away everyone that's near
I bare my teeth and i snarl when i'm hurting
See the tears when you call my name
The flood is rising above my head
You pump the water out of my lungs
And lay me to bed
But i'm drowning all the same
But i'm drowning all the same
'Cus i've got nothing to gain
It's easier to stay numb anyway
And i'm picking fights under city lights
I'm fireproof, i'm airtight
But did you ever see a firefly catch fire and die
Beneath a cardboard sky?
'Cus trees are lighting forest fires
And the people on my screen are liars
Did you ever see a lioness leave her pride
'Cus she was too afraid to go outside?
I can't believe i have grown so tall
To still be ruled by fear
Buried in the burning wreckage of it all
Wish i could just disappear
I walk on my knees
Through a forest of needles and pins
And i feel nothing at all
'Cus i've thickened my skin
And i'm picking fights under city lights
I'm fireproof, i'm airtight
But did you ever see a firefly catch fire and die
Beneath a cardboard sky?
'Cus trees are lighting forest fires
And the people on my screen are liars
Did you ever see a lioness leave her pride
'Cus she was too afraid to go outside
Too afraid to go outside
Too afraid to go outside
Too afraid to go outside
Too afraid to go outside?
