lyrics

i can feel you longing to shape this world with all thoughts that you've been haunting to save this girl.
you're her superhero; you're the answer that she needs.
but you're less than zero and you can't answer everything.
i can hear you calling, "end this night," with all of your belongings strapped down tight to your spaceship as you run off from this place to where you won't need answers, 'cause there are no questions out in space.
and i can hear you breathe when you can't hardly, and shaking in your knees, only present partly.
'cause there's a missing piece in this dark, distant house.
there's a fluent despair falling out of your mouth.
i want to tell you that it's easy but it's not.
it's as if we knew and then forgot.
