"Circle" lyrics
"Circle"
There are two of us
Talking in circles
And one of us who wants to leave
In a world
Created for only
Us an empty cage
That had no key
Don't you know
We're working with flesh and blood
Carving out of jealousy
Crawling into each other
It's smothering
Every little part of me
What kind of love is this that keeps me
Hanging on
Despite everything it's doing to me
What is this love that keeps me coming
Back for more
When it will only end in misery
I know too many people unhappy
In a life from which they'd love to flee
Watching others get every offer
They're wanton for discovery
Oh my brother
My sister
My mother
You're losing your identity
Can't you see that it's you in the window
Shining with intensity
What kind of love is this that keeps me
Hanging on
Despite everything it's doing to me
What is this love that keeps me coming
Back for more
When it will only end in misery

This life is full of days not spent

Just outside the circle.

High on the hills above the ocean.
This is where you'd come to walk with your friends.
Strange how it leaves you with no emotion.
You can't fight the undertow.
