"O'Dear" lyrics

"O'Dear"

For what it's worth, I took your hand and walked the walk
Now, I admit I simply don't give a fuck
There ain't no cure to find between unpleasant arms
Oh Routine, you got my youth one hope at a time
You can't help yourself if you just wait for change
I learned to whip the dust out of my chest
Our paper plane was simply born to crash
And I'll make you pay for all the time I don't have
Cause I don't wanna be stuck in front of a jukebox
Repeating a song called "All illusions I had"
I'll burn down the stable
I'll burn down the sweet
I'll banish the normal and will make it a fear
I escape when you're getting closer
I bet you thought it could last forever
There is no room for love
In the space you leave
Between the human being and the machine
This is a breakup letter
A light in the dark
A way to escape a train that just refused to start
You don't shine for brilliant lovers
Just a star guiding salt-free sailors
A game that will definitely have to stop one day
A comfort that never really suited me
I wanna live
For the sake of the silence but your watch is ticking
I made a mistake and I had to repair it
Well, I burned down the stable
Burned down the sweet
But you're still in the nights I spend trying to find some sleep
If life is a miracle
You keeping hiding it
Behind a repetitive schedule
And the money you put in my pocket
So, maybe, fuck you
For all the time it took
Every night
To stop the little voices and to close my eyes
For all the fear you've always injected into me
I only see one end to this:
I run away
