lyrics

When your legs, they grow heavy
And all the wind in your hair dies down
All the things you keep avoiding
Choke you in from miles around
Another line in the mirror
Then you fall straight to the ground
You hide your thoughts onto paper
When the night has run out

And oh how time stands still
When you’re in between
The powers that be
The light at the end of the tunnels
Sill too blinding to see
It’s too hard to breath
When you run from me

So when your ink runs dry
Your hand still writes till it breaks
Memories found in scars
As you write it all off as mistake
You push yourself further away
And it can all but bridge the gap
All the thoughts it’s taken away
It’s done nothing to give back

And oh how time stands still
When you’re in between
The powers that be
The light at the end of the tunnels
Sill too blinding to see
It’s too hard to breath
When you run from me

How such softly spoken words carry on
Changing every single thing you’ve ever known
You’re no longer stuck here all alone
Finally you have a place you call home

How such softly spoken words carry on
