lyrics

Light the candle, listen to
How we're going down
and how we yield to ill demands
Reason is defeated
Madness in the town
And no one seems to give us hands

Hide away
Let’s hide away
Poisonous fumes infect us
Every day
We’re led astray
By the voice of false priests

Now it’s getting hotter
It’s high time

They tell me
“Surrender!”
As no man ever got away
With the vortex in his
Reckless heart

Madness in the town
I’ve seen the storms of blood
Clever those who’re down
Keep off the crippling lights

Concrete jungles also
Are making my head spin and
Making empty stomach churn
In the inmost of my
Soft and dreamy heart
Lush greenery knows no return

And shabby creepy cabins are showing teeth
They are carious enough for me to lose my wreath
My flowers die, my blossoms cry
Weather-stained walls of my broken outlook
Pissing me off till I'm out of colour
I hate them. Hear me? I hate them!

It feels like
I’m ear-deep
In stuffy quicksands of my roots
And you know that the harder I pull my legs
The more I drown

Time won't heal my wounds
There's no tomorrow
If I don't dig out myself from this cold pit
Can you hear me? I'm the one to
Condemn your ways, we are trapped in anthills

Pull me out
It’s not the end
Just grab my hand and
PULL ME OUT
Pull me out
It’s not the end
Just grab my hand and
PULL ME HARD
Three, Two, One
PULL ME OUT
Three, Two, One
PULL ME HARD
