"Distant" lyrics

I'm freezing but it's summertime
My body fell asleep in a blaze
Every step you're taking towards me
Is another dream I fake

I can find my own little comfort in this mess
But I can't scrub the bloodstains off my dirty hands

Yeah, and it's always been a bit at a time
I got my tongue tied up
And my eyes still shut
So you better gather in the waiting line

I can only hear you scream
If you're standing right in front of me
Calm but stable
Unlike a nutshell on the sea

I can find my own little comfort in this mess
But I can't scrub the bloodstains off my dirty hands

Yeah, and it's always been a bit at a time
I got my tongue tied up
And my eyes still shut
So you better gather in the waiting line

It's never been so easy to sleep at night
Every new day's a brick on the borderline
I try to scratch off the map the few that are left
This time, we will look after ourselves

And it's always been a bit at a time
I got my tongue tied up
And my eyes still shut
So you better gather in the waiting line
