Matroshka

I was looking down at you smiling up at me

For once I held you tight, but shadowed arms grabbed at me

Your head was in the clouds, now those clouds are in your head

It's when you needed me, so I listened to what you said



Look another year went by

They keep passing by

God damn I didn't even die

Too old and slow I've grown

Well I fought time, but lost



It was love like a callus you're scarred enough to be

Tough and immune, my body adapts you see

To all above my head and all below my feet

Know that's one freedom you'll never take from me



Look another year went by

They keep passing by

God damn I didn't even die

Too old and slow I've grown

Well I fought time, but lost



To criticize and judge

How did I end up here

With these standards I'm forced to love

Make me disappear



Hold tight



To criticize and judge

How did I end up here

With these standards I'm forced to love

Make me disappear



Hold tight

Look another year went by

Hold tight
