WhoMadeWho Lyrics

I once imagined a place
I had a vision of a place that was safe and comfortable.

Where I would come around
A place I would feel welcomed to return to.

I'd build this place like a church
I would create a sacred, meaningful space.

With all the things I found
Using whatever resources were available to me to create it.

This place would be like a home
I wanted it to be a place where I could feel at home.

That loneliness has made
A reaction to feeling isolated or alone.

It will be just like a hotel
A place of transience, where people come and go.

Where no one ever stays
A place with no emotional attachments, where people don't linger.

So I run and I run and I run and I run and I run
Attempting to escape the pain and distress.

And I run from the place where you said I should stay and was gone
Trying to forget the person who suggested the place we once shared.

Cause there's nothing to say if there's nothing that I could have done
Coming to terms with something that cannot be changed.

Now there's a crack in my heart
The heart has been broken and is starting to show the signs of damage.

Where all the dirt gets in
The negative emotions and experiences are starting to take hold.

There is a face in my mind
The memory of a person is haunting.

That I can't face again
The thought of seeing them once more is unbearable.

Staring from the cliff off the coast of my life
Reflecting on one's own existence and circumstances.

Seeing everything get smashed like bricks of ice
Witnessing the destruction of something once thought stable and strong.

I'm watching it fall
Observing the end of something that was once meaningful.

Waiting for the tidal wave
Anticipating the eventual, impending disaster.

Here it comes: the tidal wave
The disaster is imminent and unavoidable.
