I thought this time I might just walk away from you

You were a thief, yeah and I was the proof

But you don’t ever cry, so no telling the truth

The first time that I tried to run away from you

You gave me a list, said now baby you choose

But it wasn’t engraved, it felt more like a bruise

Oh I wasn’t ashamed then, of my degree

The fear that I once paid for now was free

But I wasn’t afraid then, of who I’d become

In a desperate vain attempt to talk to God

I saw, I saw

Now I'm the same, lost my decree, and it paid for you

I was a liar, I was stuck in the fog

Yeah and you were turnеd around, I was pretty much lost

I'm first of four that tried to cast away from you

Into the dark, you wеre a spear

I was holding your head, you were watching me kneel

I was barely born then, I was hardly evolved

I was pacing back and forth to calm the squall

So I ran out of reasons, of places to fall

Would you take my heart and nail it to your wall?

I saw, I saw

Once you reach the top it takes your air

Are you hollow? Are you hollow?

Lower than you think you’ve ever been

Are you hollow? Are you hollow?

I don’t want to believe it

Stuck in my thought

I’ve been trying to replicate the mask of God

Now I'm starting to feel it

Now the guilt’s falling off

When I turned my eyes around, I learned to talk

I saw, I saw
