Slip and stumble at my first offences
It’s not treason, it’s no lie
You talk in paragraphs
I write my sentence
It’s not treason, it’s no lie

It seemed a place for us to dream x2

Crush and crumble under your defenses
It’s not treason, it’s no lie
You frame the photograph
I sit on fences
Change of season, love can die

It seemed a place for us to dream x4

If we tear out the tumor
It’s later, never sooner
If we tear out the tumor
It’s later, never sooner

It seemed a place for us to dream x2

You’d better keep it in check
Or you’ll end up a wreck
And you’ll never wake up
You’d better keep it in check
Or you’ll end up a wreck
And you’ll never wake up
Wake up x3

It seemed a place for us to dream x2

You’d better keep it in check
Or you’ll end up a wreck
And you’ll never wake up x4
Wake up

I was hanging from a tree
Unaccustomed to such violence
Jesus looking down on me
I’m prepared for one big silence

How’d I ever end up here
Must be through some lack of kindness
And it seemed to dawn on me
Haemoglobin is the key

Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heart beat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heart beat

At the time they cut me free
I was brimming with defiance
Doctors looking down on me
Breaking every law of science
How’d I ever end up here?
A latent strain of color blindness
Then it seemed to dawn on me
Haemoglobin is the key

Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heart beat x4

Now my feet don’t touch the ground
Now my feet don’t touch the ground
Now my feet don’t touch the ground
Now my feet don’t touch the ground

As they drag me to my feet
I was filled with incoherence
Theories of conspiracy
The whole world wants my disappearance
I’ll go fighting nail and teeth
You’ve never seen such perseverance
Gonna make you scared of me
Cause haemoglobin is the key

Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heart beat x4

Now my feet don’t touch the ground X8
