lyrics

They've all made you feel so safe
Brought us to an imagined place
A little warmer you'd have to say
A kinda quiet place to stay

We've been all living too close to the light
Taught us how thw wrong can be right
We've been all living too close to the light

Ashes and sand all around you now
There ain't no way when there ain't no how
Like a lawman checking your ID
First thing you know you're a little less free
