Lyrics

I say you seem to be drifting away
You say "maybe that's a good thing", you know thats so unfairly vague
But I won't give into your game
I just have to look at stars and scream to compensate.

Cause I don't know you anymore
From the voices of your ghosts
If I could get inside your head, but no
And that's the part that hurts the most

You said its all down hill from here
And thats when I said, babe there's nothing to fear

But you were always one step away
Than I could ever, ever, ever take
So figuring out who you are
Amounts to travelling to the furthest moons of Mars

But I doubt I'll ever get that far
Although I've already left every one else behind
Strapped myself into this shell
And launched my soul into your space and time

But you world is a place
Where not one gives and no one takes any more
Oh, time has got an iron will
There's just no way of making it stand still
