Building The Colossus


Dying

Maybe I love my harbor too much to be alive
Maybe I should go out and be seen some more

You never come around to visit anymore
We never see you on the town being like the other gals
Are you too damn good
To hang around with all the other normal ones?
Wanna tell me just what's so special 'bout you, that you
should keep yourself a secret

There you walk right by, can't you see I'm dying?
Oh so cruel, just passing me by, can't you see I'm dying?
Can you not feel me dying?

And I am safer than I've ever been, on this solitary rock of mine
I'm waiting for my ship, for my ship to come in
and I won't leave before it does
I can only hope that when it comes, the captain lets me on to sail the blue

Maybe I need to feel some sunshine here in my heart
Maybe I could learn to control my fears long enough

You never come around to visit like before
Don't you like us anymore, or have you found a better gig?
Are you too damn good
To give anyone you meet the time of dy
Whoever said you were allowed to go through life
not playing nice with the other kids?

There you walk right by, can't you see I'm dying?
Oh so cruel, just passing me by, can't you see I'm dying?
Can you not feel me dying?

But there is one thing that I know, I won't come out on my own
So pull or let me go......and I'll stay safe within this, my
tropical cocoon
All I ask is when I'm dead and gone, tell Oxy and Eze I hid too long.
