lyrics

Is it safe to speak, or is the world listening?
Is it safe to hide, or is the light too strong tonight?

I can't believe that this is happening again, the world is outside of my window yet it's them whose looking in.
They teach you not to play with fire but they don't define the context or where it seems to apply.

Let's be honest with ourselves, we are getting nowhere here.

We sleep too easy, there isn't time to fix the problems that we have.
So let's run for our lives, an open mind won't set alight our flame tonight.

Turn down the lights, whisper that you love her then hold her tight,
But these words escape me like I've lost every word in my mouth.
I believe that the problem lies deeper than we ever thought it would.
They teach you not to play with fire but they don't define the context or where it seems to apply.

Let's be honest with ourselves, we are getting nowhere here.

We sleep too easy, there isn't time to fix the problems that we have.
So let's run for our lives, an open mind won't set alight our flame tonight.

How long will it hold, there's wolves outside the door.
How long will it last we've tried all this before.
She is there in every dream I have inside of me.
She lies next to me, she is there in every dream I have inside of me.

Is it safe to speak, or is the world listening?
Is it safe to hide, or is the light too strong tonight?

We sleep too easy, there isn't time to fix the problems that we have.
So let's run for our lives, an open mind won't set alight our flame tonight.

Whilst words escape me, I'll search for answers,
If they don't show me, I'll find it myself.
