lyrics

So it's come to this
So it's come this far
So I find myself against the wall
Through a sheet of cloth, I can see the stars
They don't shine unless they shine for all

There are better things
Better things by far
Than the thing that I'm about to do
If I had my choice, I would follow the stars
Go out into the open and join you

No one seems to see my face, though I can see theirs
You see they've shut me out
Their space is so small

If I had my proper place, I'd gladly be there
If this is where you want me, you don't want me at all

Now you've found a box for me
Leave it open, leave it open
I'll escape into the street
Leave it open, leave it open

I won't answer to the names you choose to call me
The reason I am here is not so simple

I need freedom not to be the way you want me
If this is how you want me, you don't want me at all
Not at all

Now you've found a box for me
Leave it open, leave it open
I'll escape into the street
Leave it open, leave it open

So it's come to this
So it's come this far
So I find myself against the wall
Through a rag of cloth, I can see the stars
They don't shine until they shine for all
