Miles Away

Wipe from my face a drop of sweat
A swollen tear
Not in fear of being found
But terrified of being wanted

Conscious of haunting needs for meaningless skin
But in the end it needs to go

Miles away
In outer space
I am safe

Despite the stars you push me against the wall
I start to fall
But in the end it always will go

Miles away
In outer space
I am safe

There is a force stronger than this
And it makes no sense to hide
I've come all this way but I've missed my ride
My mind's wide open under shut eyes
