In the modern design Complications arise Symptoms suffered inside Only help us to hide the speed of the fall And the silence of my walls It's getting away from me It's getting away from me Another simple mistake Shows how softly we break All the pills that I take Never quiet the quaking of my veins As I chase it down the drain It's getting away from me It's getting away from me I tell a bitter lie One that you can't deny You'll never take me back alive I want to feel it Fill the sky full of trees The living image of me Never setting it free Legends lead me to see the well beaten way And become the penitent prey It's getting away from me It's getting away from me I tell a bitter lie One that you can't deny You'll never take me back alive I want to feel it It's getting away from me It's getting away from me
