lyrics

I am the Ogre,
Who could not possibly solider on,
Stroll through these streets unarmed.
But how can it be,
When I am so fit to flee,
I just sit here,
And I wonder

[Refrain]
La’s..

I know its so hard to keep,
That smile upon your face,
Those who recognise you,
Know it too.
They do not say a word,
For fear of retaliation,
What might come to light ,
If you spoke your mind.

[Refrain]

[Bridge]
We stumble blind,
Unclean.
Into rooms of constant surveillance.
Where eyes will meet, but no words exchange,
And so the world stays in motion.

[Refrain]

Stormy seas of ecstasy,
Some place I might never see.
I spend my time here in lament of thoughts I only seem to rent.
I save so I may pave a road into a cosy grave,
Where I can leave my thoughts behind and rest.

[Refrain]
[Refrain}
