Lyrics
The lights go out and I can't be saved Tides that I tried to swim against Have brought me down upon my knees Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing

Come out of things unsaid Shoot an apple off my head and a Trouble that can't be named A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singing

You are You are

Confusion never stops Closing walls and ticking clocks Gonna come back and take you home I could not stop that you now know, singing

Come out upon my seas Cursed missed opportunities Am I a part of the cure? Or am I part of the disease? Singing

You are, you are, you are You are, you are, you are

And nothing else compares Oh nothing else compares And nothing else compares

You are You are

Home, home where I wanted to go Home, home where I wanted to go Home, home where I wanted to go Home, home where I wanted to go
