lyrics

When the brakes are broken
It’s the needful man who drives
But my hands are on the wheel
Let’s see if I survive
Up against it every time
I’m waywardly inclined
But as the traffic swallows me
It’s you I have to find

Take me to the edge of reason
Handle what I can’t control
Do as you would have done to you
Pull away the mind and we’re in

Slow time
Far from the front line
Give me your sanctuary
Though it’s a strange kind
A strange kind of safety
Nervous
But no-one will find us
Still you keep watch for me
Though it’s a strange kind
A strange kind of safety

We are born indentured
We live on borrowed time
But if you’ll keep the world away
I’ll give you some of mine
Take me where the signal’s weak and
The trail fades away
Get me out of vision
If only for a day

Open up the heart that’s hiding
Silence all the background drone
Make like we’re the last ones breathing
Even though we’re not alone
Voluntary isolation
Now it’s only you and I
Temporary ties to bind us
Look me in the eye and we’re in

Slow time
Far from the front line
Give me your sanctuary
Though it’s a strange kind
A strange kind of safety
Nervous
But no-one will find us
Still you keep watch for me
Though it’s a strange kind
A strange kind of safety
