I'd like to close my eyes and go numb
But there's a cold wind coming from
The top of the highest high-rise today
It's not a breeze cause' it blows hard
Yes, and it wants me to discard the humanity I know
Watch the warmth blow away

Do you think I should adhere to that pressing new frontier?
And leave in my wake a trail of fear?
Or should I hold my head up high
And throw a wrench and spokes by
Leaving the air behind me clear?

Don't let the world bring you down
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
Remember why you came
And while you're alive
Experience the warmth before you grow old.

Ich lebe hier im Moment nicht. Ich arbeite nur. Ich bin nicht wirklich am Leben, wenn man es genau nimmt. Gestern war es besonders schlimm. Ich war nur eine Hülle. Heute war es besser, aber so viel eingedrescht wurde innerhalb einer Woche noch nie auf mich. Ich will das nicht mehr. Ich weiß, Flucht ist keine Lösung, aber ich glaube nicht, dass ich mich hier weiterentwickle, dass ich hier am Leben bleibe(n kann).

I am bottled, fizzy water and you are shaking me up
You are a fingernail running down the chalkboard I thought I left in third grade
Now my only consolation is that this could not last forever
Even though you're singing and thinking how well you've got it made

Who are you? When will you be through?
Yeah it's just a phase...it will be over soon
Yeah it's just a phase

Call it women's intuition
But I think I'm onto something here
Temporaryism has been the black plague and the Jesus of our age
I know I must sound opinionated
Maybe biased and quite possibly jaded
But sooner than later they'll be throwing quarters at you on stage

Who are you? When will you be through?
Yeah it's just a phase...it will be over soon
Yeah it's just a phase
And I'm waiting for it to be over too
