Take down this ragged nest

You have built on unsteady ground

Bury what is left so safely

When no one is around

Years past sleeping in winter's place

Waiting deep underground

Rainfalls and so dry again

Is this the end



(chorus)

Keep from moving

You're paralyzed from trying to recover

From that horrible breath of chemicals

You are losing

Bullets from withing your mind

And breaking walls of cannibals

Looking to empower you, devour you



Hold brace here it comes

Like a wind from inside spinning around

Let go as you turn you will learn

How to live softly alone



Roses on a lover's dress

Will soothe you from within

Diving away following birds of prey

Like an old friend you are losing again

Gentle are days covering warm at dusk

The moon sings to stars that he lost

Look how awkwardly strange we are

In our plain ways



(chorus)



Take your time coming home

Such a clear night summer feels right

Hold break here it comes

Like a wind from inside spinning around

Let go as you turn you will learn

How to live softly alone

Each day passes by like a cloud in the sky

You can't be found

Moses has forgiven you for living quietly alone



Take your time coming home

Such a clear night summer feels right

I let it all break so I can see straight

I'm on the thin line

It's going to be the last time

Affection where I can't be

I wish the light would take me

Can I ask you why you gave in

Did it feel like you were caged in

I loved you till you ran out

Now it's time to fade out
