lyrics

It took a runaround
Running from a star
To know who you are you are
It's a simple sin

I'm freaking out
Out of my skin
Look on and laugh why don't you?
At the trouble I'm in my window calling out

Still I look down to the ground
Still I fall
Reaching all the way down, down, down
To the panicked crawl

The air is on fire
Watch the world burn
A name you do not know you know
You don't know anything

I know everything
I know your meddling ways
I know your happiest days
And the things that you've done to hear yourself aloud

As I look down to the ground
As I fall
Reaching all the way down, down, down
To the wicked walls

On we go on
Circling a star
Knowing who you are you are
Is the simplest sin

On we go on
Circling a star
Knowing who we are we are
Is the simplest sin

On we go on
Circling a star
Knowing who we are we are
Is the simplest sin
