lyrics

Then as it was well it shall be
There is an open door that
Only seems to close for me
You say you picked the lock
But I swear you had a key
I don't care what it takes cause
I should be released

Everytime I'm running from the shadows
It always seems to be uphill
It is not amusing to me at all
I said I'd never do this again
It's a battle

Looking back I'm not the one
Seized by another sattelite
You don't allow me ever to be free
When I paint pictures of the sea

Everytime I'm running from the shadows
It always seems to be uphill
It is not amusing to me at all
I said I'd never do this again
It's a battle

I know that it's all been said before
You could win the battle but not the war
I know that the matchstick can burn
The tree that it came from

And all at once I caught a glimpse
Broken halo enshrouded in ellipsis
It shows the antics can catch a kiss

I know that it's all been said before
You could win the battle but not the war
I know that the matchstick can burn
The tree that it came from
