We begin this inward journey by looking outward - or, at least, in the direction where outward lies.
A song for all those who've ever felt like the walls are closing in, but it's all that's protecting them from what's on the other side.
lyrics
I spend so long staring out of my window
I'm starting to think it's not staring back
It's mind on things more important than I
And the train of its thought still firm on its track
On its track
On its track
On its track
CHORUS
And it's doing a far better job than I
Just holding together
Holding together
Keeping itself in a frame of mind
To hold it together
Hold it together
I spend so long staring out of my window
Pretending the foreground just doesn't exist
And the longer I stare in this great act of nothing
The longer the problems become on my list
On my list
On my list
On my list
CHORUS
I spend so long staring at my window
I've lost sight that there's another side
I've made so much effort to not be transparent
I set myself up to continue to live a lie
Live a lie
Live a lie
Live a lie
CHORUS x 4
