Lyrics

Hung up here on a web of comfort
Taking off with nowhere to go
Standing tall with your new cloak armor
Making out like it's all been done
It's harder than it seems
You'll slip but never fall

They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me

Tearing down what we built up so well
Layin low as you came my way
Look alive with your head on backwards
Goin off when there's nothin wrong
It's only in your dreams, but it felt like it was real

They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me

Hang loose, my friend don't walk away from me
Cause I really think you're cool
Is it worth turning back despite these open hands?
You're tearin me apart

They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
(You need to find yourself)
They'll take you, where you won't come back to me
