Suffering from something we're not sure of
In a world there is no cure for
These lives we live test negative for happiness
Flat line, no pulse but eyes open
Single file like soldiers on a mission
If there's no war outside our heads, why are we losing?

I don't ask for much
Truth be told, I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening
I don't ask for much
Truth be told, I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening

Hang me out to dry, I'm soaking
With the sense of knowing
What's gone wrong? But doing nothing, I still run
Time again, I have found myself stuttering
Foundations pulled out from under me
This breath is wasted on them all, will someone answer me?

I don't ask for much
Truth be told, I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening
I don't ask for much
Truth be told, I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening

Is there a God tonight
Up in the sky
Or is it empty just like me? (Just like me?)
A place where we can hide
Out from the night
Where you are all I need (where you are all I need)

So blow a kiss, goodbye
Close your eyes
Tell me what you see? (Tell me what you see?)
A lifetime spent inside
This dream of mine
Where you are all I see

I don't ask for much
Truth be told, I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening
I don't ask for much
Truth be told, I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening
