How long have you been guarded   In frameworks to present you?   I need you as a target   My hollow arms defend you         My thoughts were never sleeping   You've got to triple-heal me   Immune against the others   Moving slow to feel me   You punish me with absence   All images inverted   You could be here to hear me   While every word is deserted         How long have you been guarded   In frameworks to present you?   I need you as a target   My hollow arms defend you         You could have taught me how to fight   To be upfront and say the truth   To overcome a lonely youth   To intergrate and not to hide   To cogitate and redefine   The heros I had trusted once   And idolized like setting suns   Surrendering to their fading shine         Spotlight on my swaying   Let me freeze, let me burn   Quiet, I'll be quiet   Howl me down, howl me down
