refugee

the world is immense

and i have no home.




suddenly it hits me,
the unbearable reality,

when all i touch turns to gold
and all i love is out of touch

and i'm forever lost
in this labyrinth i created
for my own daring.







i don't like it
this way.



i don't like it

when i see myself

from the distance

and it feels

dark

and haunted.






..







nothing but shadows


beyond the deafening silence.











nothing


but timeless


ghosts.

" every night my dream’s the same.
same old city with a different name.
men are coming to take me away.
i don’t know why but i know i can’t stay.

there’s a weight that’s pressing down.
late at night you can hear the sound.
even the noise you make when you sleep.
can’t swim across a river so deep.
they know my name 'cause i told it to them,
but they don’t know where and they don’t know when
it’s coming,

when
it’s coming.


there’s this fear i keep so deep,
knew its name since before i could speak:
aaaah aaaaaah aaaaah aaaaaah
they know my name 'cause i told it to them,
but they don’t know where and they don’t know when
it’s coming,

when
when it’s coming

keep the car running


if some night i don’t come home,
please don’t think i’ve left you alone.
the same place animals go when they die,
you can’t climb across a mountain so high.
the same city where i go when i sleep,
you can’t swim across a river so deep.
they know my name 'cause i told it to them,
but they don’t know where
and they don’t know when
it’s coming,

when is it coming?


keep the car running

keep the car running

keep the car running "
