We breathe tall tales
And with a flicker of the tongue
The lips of honest men are numb
And all our wicked lies have won
But I swallowed truth
Like an undeserving man
With large and shameful trembling hands
With sickness choking up like sand
And there you were
Glistening with a gleaming glow
Whispering “You are not alone”
“You are not alone”
Ah, somebody save me
Somebody take me
From myself
You, you’re here to break me
You’re here to change me
Make me well
Clouds without water carried
By gusts of wind to withered
Trees damned, twice dead
Plucked by the roots
Of war and storm and raging
Waves of the sea, foaming out
Their own shameful wandering
Stars without names for whom
The darkness sticks forever
Ah, somebody save me
Somebody take me
From myself
You, you’re here to break me
You’re here to change me
Make me well
Clouds without water carried
By gusts of wind to withered
Trees damned, twice dead
Plucked by the roots
Of war and storm and raging
Waves of the sea, foaming out
Their own shameful wandering
Stars without names for whom
The darkness sticks forever
