lyrics

I would not save myself
If it meant saving you tonight
But my train is rolling in
And someone has to go out there and live

So let me know when reality struck you
Did it take your breath away, or did it choke?
The entire world has its eyes all on you
What is it you mean to say, or is it all a joke?

Living has not turned out to be
Anything that has to do with me
And when I lay alone in this city
I feel no one with me
I feel so damn empty

So let me know when reality struck you
Did it take your breath away, or did it choke?
The entire world has its eyes all on you
What is it you mean to say, or is it all a joke?

Those frozen hands of yours
Always told me where to go: alone
What if it all just stopped?
And time could be manipulated by me?

With your feet planted firmly in the marsh
The foolish fire shows the way to your grace
But you recede when you're approached
You are no saint you're just a ghost

Pulling travelers off their safe, worn out paths
But you recede when you're approached
You are no saint you're just a ghost
