Lonely boy, where do we go?
I'm stuck believing in the other side
Stuck on my own
Run fast, retreating for a place to hide

Safety in things I'm dumb for thinking
'Cuz a piece of plastic
Is nothing more than a piece of plastic

How did we get so far from the general beat
Of hearts that cling, held fast together
In the dying day, oh, you are swimming inside the magic hour
And when you wet your skin
You could soak up all you need to know
You could soak up all you need to know, oh oh

Picture me, how will you picture me when I am dead?
All fast and free, building up fantasy blocks in my head
My legacy, do these things dissipate in the years unread?
I felt a pain just like a knife, and then the time, it left me, oh

I'm just trying to do my best
I'm not afraid of life, I'm afraid of death
Build my love in the things I say
You gotta lift your face to the breaking day
And I'm just trying to do my best
I'm not afraid of life, I'm afraid of death
Build my love in the things I say
You've gotta lift your face to the breaking day

So I ran and I jumped and I flew
'til I came to the center of the Earth, so cold
And the wind picked me up
Took me straight into the belly of the fears I hold
And I ran and I ran and I ran and I ran

And then I came right back
Threw my arms around you
You were dressed in black
I'm so glad I found you
Before you burned my stuff
Objects all around you
Do we outlast things
Memories and sound
Or do we fade like this
Beat the body down into the ground
The flesh and the soil that we love so much
I always wanted to return
Return to the body where I was born
I always wanted to return
And I ran and I ran and I ran

So far and I'm just trying to do my best
I'm not afraid of life, I'm afraid of death
Build my love in the things I say
You gotta lift your face to the breaking day

And I'm just trying to do my best
I'm not afraid of life, I'm afraid of death
Build my love in the things I say
You gotta lift your face to the breaking day

Because the time it leaves you
It leaves you like blood, red blood
It leaves you like blood, red blood
It leaves you like blood, red blood
It leaves you like blood, red blood
