Oh, I etched my own name in the mountain
But I lost all my nails to the fight
If you would let me explain, I have aged and I'm frightened
By the sound of my thoughts in the night
Oh God, I swear it, I hold myself to ransom
And can't afford the fee
I gave away my eyelids
And all I can do now is see
Oh, I sold you a song to feel human
But it made a great hole in my chest
If you would let me explain, I'm insane, unenlightened
And too god damn tired to protest
Oh God, the lifetime I spent on writing lovesongs
To people that ignored
I've looked for love in strangers
I am safe, I am fine, I'm adored
They love me
They love me
They love me
They love me
They love me
They love me
I know
