Spiralling

I'm waiting for my moment to come

I'm waiting for the movie to begin

I'm waiting for a revelation

I'm waiting for someone to count me in

Because now I only see my dreams in everything I touch

Feel their cold hands on everything that I love

Cold like some magnificent skyline

Out of my reach but always in my eye line

Now we're tumbling down

We're spiralling

Tied up to the ground

We're spiralling

I fashioned you from jewels and stone

I made you in the image of myself

I gave you everything you wanted

So you would never know anything else

But every time I reach for you you slip through my fingers

Into cold sunlight laughing at the things that I had planned

The map of my world gets smaller as I sit here

Pulling at the loose threads

Now we're tumbling down

We're spiralling

Tied up to the ground

We're spiralling

Did you want to be a winner

Did you want to be an icon

Did you want to be famous

Did you want to be the president

Did you want to start a war

Did you want to have a family

Did you want to be in love

Did you want to be in love

When we fall in love

We're just falling

In love with ourselves

We're spiralling

We're tumbling down

We're spiralling

Tied up to the ground

We're spiralling
