Cold am I, I'm beside myself Because there's no one else Have I grown so blind Only God could save you If you knew your way to the light So fly away and leave it behind Just stay away There's nowhere to hide I see you 'Cause you won't get out of my way I hear you 'Cause you won't quit screaming my name I feel you 'Cause you won't stop touching my skin I need you They're coming to take you away Frail and dry, I could lose it all But I cannot recall, it's all wrong Don't cry, clear away this hate And we could start to make it alright So fly away and leave it behind Return someday With red in your eyes I see you 'Cause you won't get out of my way I hear you 'Cause you won't quit screaming my name I feel you 'Cause you won't stop touching my skin I need you They're coming to take you away I see you 'Cause you won't get out of my way I hear you 'Cause you won't quit screaming my name I feel you 'Cause you won't stop touching my skin I need you They're coming to take you away (away)
