Pedestal

(Album: Birds Of Tokyo - 2005)

To put me on a pedestal
Treat me like the shallow fool I am
I spun around a crowded room
I never heard a single word you said

Put me on a pedestal
Treat me like the shallow fool I am
I'm caught between the moon and sun
Underneath your every move I am, always

Don't wash away
Don't wash away again
Don't wash away again

Tell me that I'm not the cause
Tell me that I'm everything to you (to you)
This feeling everyday it swells
As I try to breath, I try to yell for you (for you)

I'm living through a broken heart
Underneath your every spell I am
So put me on a pedestal
Treat me like the sorry fool I am, always

Don't wash away
Don't wash away again
Don't wash away again

The silence between you and I
I look for the strength in myself
I know it's the truth
But you burn me out
You leave me dry
Drown my fears
Blow my mind
You leave me so
I fool myself

The silence between you and I
I look for the strength in myself
I know it's the truth in your eyes
I know it's this scene that I cannot stand

I'm falling further
From this murmur
Falling through strange things
I've not heard of
Now I should be
I should be there instead

I'm falling further
From this murder
Falling through strange things
I've not heard of
Now I should be
I should be there instead

And you burn me out
You leave me dry
Drown my fears
Blow my mind
You leave me so
I fool myself

The silence between you and I
I look for the strength in myself
I know it's the truth in your eyes
I know it's this scene that I cannot stand
