lyrics

A little too weak
For the stronger eye to see
No will to compete
It's not the fear, but the pressure
That drives me mad

Trapped in a corner
Between walls of red and blue
From where I stand the room looks small
And the colours get mixed up too

Splatters on the ceiling
The voice of one more god
Never heard the voice above
His flock is all too loud

They told me
That life could
Be like a dance on roses
But sometimes
It feels like
All I ever step on are the thorns
Break free from this form

A haven from your world
I'll build a City on the Moon
A home far away from your Earth
My City on the Moon

Machines to guide me
To where I'd never go
Structures to keep me locked
Onto the even flow

I will build a planet
A retreat to call my home
I will twist the chains and build
A new world of my own

They told me
That life could
Be like a dance on roses
But sometimes
It feels like
All I ever step on are the thorns
Break free from this form

A haven from your world
I'll build a City on the Moon
A home far away from your Earth
My City on the Moon

All in line waiting for the countdown
The world looks small from up above
Sublunar life demands a fight
Here and now we must make a stand and

Now I know
That life should
Be like a dance on roses
Now I wish
That I could
Ignite and leave it all behind
Leave space and time for

A haven from your world
I'll build a City on the Moon
A home far away from your Earth
My City on the Moon
