Lyrics
I could watch the city burning
I am capable of observing the city in flames
I could watch it drown
I can witness the city sinking or submerging
where the running gets disturbing
Where the act of running becomes unsettling
they just keep running around
People persistently keep moving around
hold it there
Pause and keep it in that state
until I light it all up
Maintain it until I ignite everything
in a way I wish I could believe that
Expressing a desire to believe in something
I could be trying not to feel it
Attempting to avoid feeling certain emotions
I could try to get out
Contemplating the possibility of leaving
I'll be pretending that I don't need it
Pretending that I don't require it
but I really need it now
Admitting a current strong need for it
hold it there
Pause and keep it in that state
until I make it all stop
Maintain it until I bring everything to a halt
in a way I wish I could believe that
Expressing a desire to believe in something
I just wanted it to rain
Expressing a desire for rain when the sun is out
when the sun came out
Desiring rain when the sun is shining
don't you want to feel okay?
Asking if one doesn't want to feel okay
well, I wonder now
Expressing curiosity about the present feelings
will there ever not be a reason
Questioning the existence of a reason not to stay
not to make you stay?
Suggesting reasons to make someone stay
so you can take me where the light's turned off and leave me there
Inviting to be taken to a place with no light and left there
just leave me there
Reiterating the desire to be left in darkness
I get a little closer every morning
Getting closer incrementally each morning
that's how they're recording me now
Being observed or monitored regularly now
that I should feel better
Being advised to feel better
whenever I face what I'd rather
Facing things one would rather not know about
know nothing about
Questioning if it was fabricated
hold it there
Pause and keep it in that state
did I make it up?
Questioning the reality of a situation
make it stop?
Asking for something to cease
to make the world believe
To make the world believe that we are a bit lost
we're a little bit lost
Expressing a desire to convey a certain perception
I just wanted it to rain
Expressing a desire for rain when the sun is out
when the sun came out
Desiring rain when the sun is shining
don't you want to feel okay?
Asking if one doesn't want to feel okay
well, I wonder now
Expressing curiosity about the present feelings
could you just leave me there?
Requesting to be left alone
could you just leave me there?
Reiterating the request to be left alone
could you just leave me there?
Repeating the request to be left alone
hold my hands I'll turn in all I needed
Hold my hands, I'll surrender everything I needed
is to watch you spin around I think I could believe that
Watching someone spin around, finding belief in it
hold my hands, get down now just leave it
Hold my hands, let go now, just leave it
watch me spin around I think I could believe that just like I could believe that
Watching oneself spin around, finding belief in it
