Is it funny just to test you?
Is it foolishness I do?
Got no reason for my logic,
Missing evidence to prove.
Tell me all about forgiveness,
Think I need a fix of that.
In the presence of a witness
It's never hard to find the facts.
Am I running from an open doorway
Straight into another obvious trap?
All this time I've been wasting,
The money I have been paying
To be safe in my home,
Roof and four walls around me.
All these dreams I've been cradling.
The thoughts I've been entertaining
To be settling down,
Forcing these sounds from my lips.
No more words.
Are you happy up above there?
Is there something I could do?
Said you always would protect me,
I said I'd always sing for you.
But there's no point in getting angry at you,
‘cos there is nothing I can change.
All these plans I've been making,
The effort I have been taking
To be walking this path,
Guarding my heart from your ways.
All these words I've been saying;
The prayers that I have been praying
And they're with you somewhere,
Left in the care of your ear.
In the care of your ear,
In your hands.
I've laid to rest the plans in my head
All this time I've been wasting,
The money I have been paying
To have comfort in dreams,
Painting this scene of relief.
The colours slowly are fading,
The conversation is waning
And I'm coping alright.
But I'm pining for times I can't reach,
They won't come.
I can't reach this no more
