keep me here
outside the glow
keep me at bay
outside the know
at arms length I am
where I need to be
for you to breathe
for you to breathe
trust in your safety net
of smiles lost in thought
like fireflies
blindly we have caught
and then forgotten
in the glass jar
for all to see
the blind shall see
(who we are)
out of reach
(who we are)
out of reach
the failure of capture
victory expended
intentions unknown
naturally kind and
unnaturally cruel is
this arms length
this arms length
this arms length
(who we are)now how do you measure
(who we are)alive for your pleasure
(who we are)alone we cry
(who we are)alone we die
the greatest masterpieces
are begun
mistakes erased
the bottle is spun
I touch a pen with
this hand of mine
a sword so mighty
a sword so mighty
(who we are)
out of reach
(who we are)
out of reach
from harms way
should we push
of fools the vantage
what is our rush
to be in haste
the lengths we keep
at arms length
out of reach
at arms length
and out of reach
(who we are)now, how do you measure
(who we are)I live for your pleasure
(who we are)alone I'll cry
(who we are)alone we"ll die
