  • There's so much loneliness in everyone around you
    I ran away to keep my head from getting cloudy

    Oh, I spent some time in a lonely place
    But I'm only getting clearer
    Need some time to be on my own
    In a world without a mirror

    Tie me up, hold me down
    In a cage there's no unlocking
    Leave a mark big enough
    Let the bones fall out the sockets

    But you still see me, crawling, hands and knees
    Coming out through the mouth of a cave (stuck in a mirror)
    Coming out through the mouth of the cave

    I see the creeping of the sun on the horizon
    First light is coming and there's no more need for hiding

    We'll spend some time in a lonely place
    And I'm only getting higher
    In the blackness of a broken heart
    Oh, I found myself a fighter

    Tie me up, hold me down
    In a cage there's no unlocking
    Leave a mark big enough
    Let the bones fall out the sockets

    But you still see me, crawling, hands and knees
    Coming out through the mouth of a cave
    Coming out through the mouth of a cave

    Stuck in a mirror
    Stuck in a mirror

    Tie me up (tie me up), hold me down (hold me down)
    In a cage there's no unlocking
    Leave a mark (leave a mark) big enough (big enough)
    Let the bones fall out the sockets

    But you still see me, crawling, hands and knees
    Coming out through the mouth of a cave (stuck in a mirror)
