Lifeline

I'm better off here alone
I'm better on my own
All this oxygen and bone
Leave me to breathe it out
Blood cells clot this host
The bonds that break gray's code
Organs to signpost
Where we can work this out
(i know where to go
Yeah i know where to go
I know where to go
Yeah i know where)
You call me sometimes
You're blocking out all the signs
Throw me a lifeline
I know we're gonna work this out
Culture breeds false hopes
Mind over microscopes
And machines that make me choke
Oh, you've got to help me out
I'm better off here alone
I'm better on my own
My origins have shown
That i can go without
(i know where to go
Yeah i know where to go
I know where to go
Yeah i know where)
You call me sometimes
You're blocking out all the signs
Throw me a lifeline
I know we're gonna work this out
And i know in time,
And i know in time,
And i know in time,
You'll work it out.
You call me sometimes
You're blocking out all the signs
Throw me a lifeline
I know we're gonna work this out
