Can you find a way?
Can I speak to you?
I want to see your face
Just close your eyes
Or just watch mine
Shut the lights off
I don't want to see anything
I'll walk away
And I'll stay silent
You too
Don't listen to what they say
Don't watch what they do
Don't let them tell you anything
Watch my eyes
Their influence is bad
They want you to stay
They want you to live underground
Grab my hand
Let me help you
Help me fly
We can both speak anything
Just stay pressed against me
Just keep your breath
Just stay silent to them
And only to me
Speak your words
