He's the fool that should've known Fleeting fits of honesty a king dethroned This feels like being owned What's left can't tell the seams apart from broken bones I never dream I wanna see I never dream It's reaching me Here to trick a troubled soul Men of minds who take the time to be unknown This feels like getting old The story sticks it would be better left untold I never dream I wanna see I never dream It's reaching me I never dream I wanna see I never dream I wanna see

Dust kicks up tyres to road These stinging eyes are self imposed I'm heading anywhere but home There's a church not far from here They say it helps suppress the fear But that's just putting it off for a while It's just another word for denial Take me anyway from here I just want stillness Blankness Take me anyway from here I just want stillness Blankness Pushing on I'm with the wind And music loud enough to sin It helps to keep it in for a while Hotels, Motels space to rent If I just had space to vent I could be someone else for a while I could be no one here and smile Take me anyway from here I just want stillness Blankness Take me anyway from here I just want stillness Blankness You're too far away from me to be real You're too far away from me to deal Take me anyway from here I just want stillness Blankness Take me anyway from here I just want stillness Blankness Take me anyway from here
