lyrics

The perfect state for me has always been
To be numb and far from everyone
Living in a shell never worked that well
So the time has come to feel the sun

Testing the water for the poison in your words
If you never say something you won't get hurt
In the past I would've turned my back
Would've cut you off never suffered loss

And I will turn into the wind
I will see it to the end
I will do it for a friend

The perfect state for me has always been
To be numb and far from everyone
Living in a shell never worked that well
So the time has come to feel the sun

And I will turn into the wind
I will see it to the end
I will do it for a friend
