Leave
Nothing could bring me closer
Nothing could bring me near
Where is the road I follow
To leave, leave?
It's under, under, under my feet
The sea spread out there before me
Where do I go when the land touches the sea?
There is my trust in what I believe
That's what keeps me, that's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave, believe it
Leave it all behind
Shifting the dream
Nothing could bring me further from my old friend time
Shifting the dream, it's charging the scene
I know where I marked the signs
I suffer the dreams of a world gone mad
I like it like that and I know it
I know it well, ugly and sweet
I temper madness with an even extreme
That's what keeps me, that's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
I say that I'm a bantam lightweight
I say that I'm a phantom airplane
That never left the ground
That's what keeps me, that's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, believe it
Leave it all behind
Lift me, lift me
I attain my dream
I lost myself, I lost that
Heartache calling me
Lost myself in sorrow
I lost myself in pain
I lost myself in gravity, memory, leave, leave, leave
That's what keeps me, that's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, believe it
Leave it all behind
That's what keeps me, that's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, believe it
Leave it all behind
Lift my hands, my eyes are still
I'll walk into the sea
Shoot myself in a different place
And leave it
I've longed for this to take me
I've longed for my release
I've waited for the callin'
To leave, leave
Leave, leave
Leaving
Leaving, leaving
Nothing could bring me near
Where is the road I follow
To leave, leave?
It's under, under, under my feet
The sea spread out there before me
Where do I go when the land touches the sea?
There is my trust in what I believe
That's what keeps me, that's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave, believe it
Leave it all behind
Shifting the dream
Nothing could bring me further from my old friend time
Shifting the dream, it's charging the scene
I know where I marked the signs
I suffer the dreams of a world gone mad
I like it like that and I know it
I know it well, ugly and sweet
I temper madness with an even extreme
That's what keeps me, that's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
I say that I'm a bantam lightweight
I say that I'm a phantom airplane
That never left the ground
That's what keeps me, that's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, believe it
Leave it all behind
Lift me, lift me
I attain my dream
I lost myself, I lost that
Heartache calling me
Lost myself in sorrow
I lost myself in pain
I lost myself in gravity, memory, leave, leave, leave
That's what keeps me, that's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, believe it
Leave it all behind
That's what keeps me, that's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, believe it
Leave it all behind
Lift my hands, my eyes are still
I'll walk into the sea
Shoot myself in a different place
And leave it
I've longed for this to take me
I've longed for my release
I've waited for the callin'
To leave, leave
Leave, leave
Leaving
Leaving, leaving
