Your parents hide
they live in fear
They’re lying restless
as the dawn gets near
You wanna live you wanna try
You hear the whisper
of the world outside
So take a chance and leave tonight
Sarah’s waiting in a car outside
Bolt to the door
your father waits
You let your anger
and your sadness breaks
And when you turn around
he’s laid down on the ground
And now you’re standing
with your finger on the pulse
And then an open door
two footsteps on the floor
And now you’re standing
with your finger on the pulse
It’s Sarah’s face
her worried eyes
Pulls back the door
and gently steps inside
The nighttime with a charcoal grin
The diamonds on
her pallid skin
And when she turns around
he’s laid down on the ground
And now you’re standing
with your finger on the pulse
And then an open door
two footsteps on the floor
And now you’re standing
with your finger on the pulse
If I don’t belong by you
I don’t belong anywhere
You know I’d follow you
To the heart of nowhere
It’s just too kind to people
God fear and the God less
cowards and the faithless
And I would stand by you
