The Great Big Empty - Light Horizon

Little bird says stay away,

I just wanna feel safe in my little cage,

But the big old cat is tryin' to tear me apart.

Just walk away from me, I swear I’ll never tell.

This secret, I will keep, until I’m dead and buried.

Thought you would make it,

So I placed it all on your shoulders.

Knew you couldn’t take it,

So I made an example out of you.

Little boy says come and play,

I just wanna feel safe in this strange place,

But the big old world is dyin' to tear him apart.

Just walk away from me, I swear I’ll never tell.

This secret, I will keep, until I’m dead and buried.

Thought you would make it,

So I placed it all on your shoulders.

Knew you couldn’t take it,

So I made an example out of you.

Oh, we lost our mind, body, and souls.

Here we are again, hangin' off a ledge,

With no regard for consequence.

We played this game for far too long,

Now we’re stuck.

Just walk away from me, I swear I’ll never tell.

This secret, I will keep, until I’m dead and buried.

Thought you would make it,

So I placed it all on your shoulders.

Knew you couldn’t take it,

So I made an example out of you.

Oh, we lost our mind, body, and souls.
