a view from a broken window
i can hardly breathe
clouds are forming faces
and they laugh at me

strange desires
under friendly skies
but it's alright it still feels nice

it's taking me away
i'm seeking shelter from the pain
i'm holding on again
holding on again
seeking shelter from the pain

it gives me a line and i cross it
an acrobat graced with skill
getting your freedom's easy
surviving it's harder still

strange desires
under friendly skies
but it's alright it still feels nice

it's taking me away
i'm seeking shelter from the pain
i'm holding on again
holding on again
seeking shelter from the pain

and the race is on
i'm all out of sync now
and the hands withdrawn
i'm out of sync now
is there nothing more
it's taking me away
i'm seeking shelter from the pain
i'm holding on again
seeking shelter from the pain
it's taken me
