lyrics

Some people get in trouble
For living in a bubble
But tell me what is worse?
I don’t even got a bubble to burst
I’m getting further from the fairytale

So forget the Bahamas
Forget Bermuda too
When they say life’s a beach
I picture Normandy
Yeah I’m
I’m getting further from the fairytale

I’m still trying to see
A spirit in the machine
That there’s more to me
Than bolts and circuitry
One day we’ll find out for sure
I’m shaking in my boots don’t tell me you’re not scared anymore

To the soldiers of fortune
I wish somebody could’ve warned them
It’s something I know well
The road to paradise is paved through hell
And I’m
I’m getting further from the fairytale

I’m still trying to see
A spirit in the machine
That there’s more to me
Than bolts and circuitry
One day we’ll find out for sure
I’m still shaking in my boots don’t tell me you’re not scared anymore

Shadows in the water deep
Bayonets and rosaries
There’s terror in the tenderness
Of water rushing through my fingertips
