Something's familiar to me

They don't have to know



Swift and contained and caught up in life so you never can land

Your genius/beauty it hits me like dirt in the face and you can't understand

All I have ever wanted was just to be able to stand on my own



You save all your problems for me, they don't have to know

We can hide in the hilltops and graves, they don't have to know

You come here on your own with cancers and perfume

And five o'clock in the afternoon is heaven and endless



Cursed and betrayed and forced to be strong on these hard iron wings

Wizards and scientists left on their own shouldn't play with these things

Now we are running away and who knows what the future will bring, on our own

We are left to survive on our own.



And the mausoleums perched so high above the city can be fun in the right amount of sun

And a certain amount of technology has pricked your curiosity

And a certain amount of persecution has curiously invaded your mind

And I tried to be the hero but I screwed it all up in the end

And now we're in the midst of this whole great global war

When five o'clock in the afternoon is heaven and endless



They won't come here for me

I covered up everything so carefully

They got exactly what they deserved

All I get is this guilt



I have sacrificed everything and now I am cursed by these iron wings

But at least I am not alone

While I watch the city burn below



Something's familiar to me

They don't have to know
