Текст (слова) песни: Okkervil River - Numbers

 
It was not what I thought it would be. 
I have made my mistake, 
now I come running to you 
like you said I would do. 
It`s so hard not to hide 
cause you`re safe. 
 
Now I need protection 
from all the things I have made, 
so I come flying to you 
like you swore I would do, 
but there`s only a stone 
in your place. 
 
Well, they said 
I needed protection from life, 
but it`s over now. 
Give me strength, 
I need resurrection again, 
let it all come out. 
 
They said "it`s just minor surgery, 
just one tiny scar," 
but I drove home in my car 
and it seemed like so far, 
and the gas needle fell 
like a star. 
 
Numbers come and they crowd me out 
in a cloud above my head. 
I fight each equation till it`s dead, 
then I put them to bed 
and I paw at the hole 
in my chest. 
 
How could you let me become this? 
How could you make my small bones 
grow as tall as a tower? 
Oh, take my power away, 
I`m begging you 
to take it away. 
 
Hold my hand as you lay me down. 
Reach into that jar, 
cause I am ready to restart, 
and you can even stop my heart 
if there`s no going back, 
no escape. 
 
Well, they said 
I needed protection from life, 
but it`s over now. 
Give me strength, 
I need resurrection again, 
let it all come out.
