There's an empty space whеre you once offerеd yourself to me
My mom knows I'll be alright, but she'll be glad I'm home
She's always casting spells for me
Keeping guard for me, working hard for me
I swim out of the window and into the night
I am smiling, I am screaming, I am glowing from inside

I've got so much to say
And yet nothing comes close
To the way we communicate
When we don't say a word
I hear you clearly without sounds
Oh, I don't need these ears when you're around

Every plant given life by His hands
Every stone placed to build pathways in the sand
There was a magical feeling surrounding that land
A mystical feeling surrounding that land

Oh, remind me of your name again
As you take me on that train again
Back to the pavements that we walked, and walked
Oh, the drugs that made us talk and talk
And I'll take you dancing, I'll take you round and round
I'll lead you to the hilltops, and I'll take you on the ground

All you had to do was see me
Really see me
Recognize the workings of my mind
And then touch me
Like something holy
And then touch me
Like something that is now but could never be

I saw you throw your hands in the air and say a prayer
Your eyes closed, your nose breathing in the salty air
There was nothing you could do to make me love you anymore

The moon was full and it left me howling
My head was spinning and my heart was growling
I received crimson stains on my sheets that morning
The world felt big and the tides were moving

On days you'd sail away
I would try to find my own way
On days you'd sail away
I would try to find my own way home''

I stand here with all my love
Uncover the windows
Let in the light
Grab the hand that's reaching out...
This world can cater for us all
When the sun rises, it rises for us all

Days move on and times they change
In a blink of an eye things rearrange
We're moving
We're sucked in and we're spat out
On the other side of the rabbit hole
But we find our way
Find our way
Do you want to be just a machine in this crazy society?
Pick the lock
Grab the reigns
Forget there ever were chains
'Cause there never were chains

It's all lies
And my limbs have danced for the Amsterdam sunrise
With not one restriction and not one disguise
Monotony is what I despise
Integration to society would be my demise
It's all lies

Music came back to your ears
And you danced and you danced
For all of the years
You’d forgotten how
To live for the now

Oh society... You took it away from me
When you brainwashed me with formulas of how I should be
Shaped me and raped me of my individuality
Schooled me and fooled me
Told me what I could and could not see
Took me and shook me
Of my urges to be free

She looked out out to the horizon
She didn't have much left to see
Greed had taken the trees away
Greed had taken the bees away ...She looked up to where there should've been stars

But don't leave that fiery heart behind
Take it along for the ride
And don't leave that fiery mind behind
Take it along for the ride And...I'll have to say fair well so long
