lyrics

What a strange freak you turned out to be
Time will fail eventually
And the deeper you sink, the higher the climb
All else fails when left to time
Self-fulfilling, you've got this handled
No god willing, you're left to ramble

Was I a record broken
Or had I just misspoken
I could repeat this at a shout
If leaving is the hardest
Call me the escape artist
Make no mistake here
I want out

And you said you thought you could commit
But would a strange freak like you know when to quit
If they picked your mind, so tried and true
Would it all come rushing back to you

What a strange freak you turned out to be
You will fail eventually
When your time to fly has come
Turn your gaze into the sun
