Lyrics

A Dandelion Cipher

Sometimes I wonder
If I'm in this world on my own
If I will ever know
Your secret to wonders
Because I'm
I'm out here, I'm out in the cold
Outside all the doors you once closed
Feels like I've been here forever

Why should I keep on striving
If you will never let me in?
Why should I keep on trying when
I'll just end up back where I started?
No gold at the end of the rainbow
And no stars to guide my way
And now I walk here alone
Because we're walking in circles

I grew where nothing could grow
I grew in concrete, in ashes, through cold
A dandelion cipher
I locked all the doors I could close
Let illusions keep out the cold
I stayed here forever

Why should I keep on striving
If you will never let me in?
Why should I keep on trying when
I'll just end up back where I started?
No gold at the end of the rainbow
And no stars to guide my way
And now I walk here alone
Because we're walking in circles

Why should I keep on striving
If you will never let me in?
Why should I keep on trying when
I'll just end up back where I started?
No gold at the end of the rainbow
And no stars to light my way
And now I walk here alone
Because I'm walking in circles
