Trembling knees

I always dream about a deadly earthquake

That shakes the state

Smoke and flames

Always make it oh so hard to speak and see

I can't escape


Wait for me

I'm so afraid

But you always seem so secure

And oh so sure

I'm so sorry

But everything I keep close to me runs away

It's such a shame


I'll hide amongst the trees

And breathe so quietly

Until the sun comes out

Until the morning comes

So many things scare me

Like when shadows dance amongst the trees


I've got the skin and bones to stand 

And say so many things to you. 

Oh but I lack the guts to hold my weight 

And keep my blood so calm, so calm


Trembling knees

I always dream about a deadly earthquake

That shakes the state

Smoke and flames

Always make it oh so hard to speak and see

I can't escape


I'll hide amongst the trees

And breathe so quietly 

until the sun comes out

Until the morning comes

So many things scare me

Like when shadows dance amongst the trees


And when the ground all breaks

I'll just run away

I'm sorry I still haven't changed 


I'll trade my veins for your nerves

Maybe then I'll stay calm


Wait for me

I'm so afraid

But you always seem so secure

And oh so sure

I'm so sorry

But everything I keep close to me runs away

It's such a shame


Trembling knees

I always dream about a deadly earthquake

That shakes the state

Smoke and flames

Always make it oh so hard to speak and see

I can't escape
