Spinning
Was it loneliness that brought you here
Broken and weak
Was it tiredness that made you sleep
Have you lost your will to speak
Was the earth spinning round
Were you falling through the ground
As the world came tumbling down
You prayed to God what have we done
There comes a time when there just isn't anything left to say. I've been stomped flat into the ground. I can smell dirt and hear insects picking their way through. If only I could flip myself. I know what it's like to feel the sun soaking into my skin. Blinding even behind closed eyes.
Right now the sun is hidden behind the clouds. It's dark here.
Free me from these chains I need to change my way
Heal these broken wings I need to fly far away, far away, far away
I'm so trapped in the way I've become. Clinging to a crutch. Stuck in a cycle of self destruction. From the moment I met you, I've been begging. I need a reinvention. I want that embyronic state. Turn back the clock and I can be whatever I'm not.
Was it emptiness that made you weep
No more secrets to keep
Was it bitterness that gave you time
To forgive your sins
Was the earth spinning round
Were you falling through the ground
As the world came tumbling down
You prayed to God what have we done
Why do we lie? Why do you punish me? The past haunts me. Does it haunt you too?
Free me from these chains I need to change my way
Heal these broken wings I need to fly far away
Free me from these thoughts long forgotten down below
Take these angel's words give them life to carry on, carry on, carry on
Free me from these chains...
Don't throw me away. I still need you. Our lives are intertwined.
