lyrics

You opened your door, but you can't see me anymore...
until you look away

I won't be a liar
but my eyes can't see much higher
the table's at a standstill
so tired of all the talking
when less is less is less is less
and you blame your feet when you can't stop walking

open mouths, looking up so nothing comes out
but in my heart we'll find a million things that tear us apart
so come and watch the fallout

it's loose from cages
in different colors
we lives on pages looking nothing like the others

but I won't call you a liar
when your eyes can't see much higher

seen from space, everyone that we could replace
but in the end we'll find a million ways that we can pretend we're not all the same

I won't call you a liar when your eyes can't see much higher

they're in our hands
they're in our hearts
in here we won't be safe
in our clothes we won't be safe
in our hands we won't be safe
in our homes

when our eyes can't see...
when my eyes can't...
