You build up the fences Build up the fences in your mind You're disconnected You're out of space and out of time You say that breathing Is the release that sets you free But then you don't believe In the air that you can't see What's in the air that lets you breathe? What's in the eyes that make you see? Whatever is will be again And if not now then tell me when With these fences as your home There's just no time to be alone You build up defences Build up defences in your mind You shut them out there They'll never get you once you hide You say that bleeding Is your beacon of control But what's it mean when You can't even stop the blood flow They'll never get you once you shut them outside What's in the air that lets you breathe? What's in the eyes that make you see? Whatever is will be again And if not now, then tell me when And with these fences as your home There's just no time to be alone Alone What's in the air that lets you breathe? What's in the eyes that make you see? Whatever is will be again And if not now, then tell me when And with these fences as your home There's just no time to be alone Is there a time the eye can see? Is there somewhere that we can breathe? Whatever is will come to end You don't act now, you won't again And with these fences as your home There's only time to be alone Alone They'll never get you once you shut them outside They'll never get you again
