One day you'll see her and you'll know what I mean Take her or leave her she will still be the same She'll not try to buy you with her time But nothing's the same, as you will see when she's gone It's foreign on this side And I'll not leave my home again There's no place to hide And I'm nothing but scared You dream of colors that have never been made You imagine songs that have never been played (They will try) They will try to buy you and your mind Only the curious have something to find It's foreign on this side And the truth is a bitter friend But reasons few have I to go back again Your first dawn blinded you, left you cursing the day Entrance is crucial and it's not without pain (There's no path) There's no path to follow, once you're here You'll climb up the slide and then you'll slide down the stairs It's foreign on this side But it feels like I'm home again There's no place to hide But I don't think I'm scared (There's no place to hide) (There's no place to hide) But I don't think I'm scared (There's no place to hide) But I don't think I'm scared
