The night is deafening
When the silence is listening
And I'm down on my knees,
And I know that something is missing.
Because the
Back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in
But I choose to ignore it
Because I'm always denying themI'm a
Bit of a manic when it's not as I plan it
'Cause I start losing my head
And then I get up in a panic
Remember when we were kids
And always knew when to quit it
Are we denying a crisis
Or are we scared of admitting it?
I don't want to knowI just want to run to you
And break off the chains,
And throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later,
I'll need a saviour,
I'll need a saviour.It won't ever change
If you want it to stay the same
I really hate it but I know
It's hard to choose if you're chained and when it's all
All you control 'cause you've got nothing else to hold
You're getting tighter and tighter,
It's getting harder to let it go
I don't want to knowI just want to run to you (I just want to run)
And break off the chains,
And throw them away
I just want to be so much (I just want to be)
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later,
I'll need a saviour,
I'll need a saviour.Stand me up and maybe I won't be so small
Free my hands and feet
And maybe I won't always fall
Save meI just want to run to you (I just want to run)
And break off the chains, (save me)
And throw them away
I just want to be so much (I just want to be)
And shake off the dust (save me)
That turned me to rust
I just want to run to you (just want to run to you)
And break off the chains (save me)
And throw them away
I just want to be so much (just want to be so much)
And shake off the dust (save me)
That turned me to rust
Sooner than later,
I'll need a saviour, (saviour)
I'll need a saviour.
