lyrics

Watch a shadow cross the wall
Something doesn’t feel right
Shadows rise and shadows fall
Lose the fight

I sit behind a bolted door
I see plenty of daylight
I cannot name this day for sure
But I’m alright

I feel strong but I’m powerless
It’s as if I couldn’t care less
Nothing could be further from true

It’s like the hardest thing I’ve ever done
The hardest thing I’ve ever done
The hardest thing I’ve ever done
Is nothing at all
The strangest air inside my lung
The strangest air inside my lung
The hardest thing I’ve ever done
is nothing at all

Someone’s putting words in my head
Sitting on my shoulder
I listen to every word that said
Then I cry

And it’s a long way back to where it began
And we don’t know how to get there
And I can’t recall which songs we sang
Without care

I feel safe but hopeless
Perhaps I shouldn’t share this
Sometimes I feel I’m not even here

It’s like the hardest…
Is nothing at all
The cleanest hands I’ve ever rung…
The hardest thing I’ve ever done
is nothing at all

And now we share our love through a screen
Until it cuts connection
Sharing smiles but tears unseen
So it goes on

In the world flipped upon its head
Adrift and losing sight of land
Our greatest fears are left unsaid
Head in sand

They say we’ll beat this thing together
You will all have to suffer
Your sacrifice will see us through

It’s like the hardest…
The softest anthem ever sung…
The hardest thing we’ve ever done
Is nothing at all
