The sea is frozen solid, I've never see it thaw,
It's so cold and dark here, but I don't mind at all,
This sanctuary silence, the soundless streets at night,
I think the nightmare’s over, I left it all behind
Something secret steers you, a voice you cannot see,
When it speaks it tells you, the truth will set you free,
But now you have the answers, the words keep echoing,
You left to find the meaning, you came back with nothing
Why did you come here?
Why don’t you stay?
What made you run away?
I tried but I'm not better,
I tried but I'm not better
Stretched across two cities, drifting out of time,
I guess that I fell out of this narrative of mine,
And it’s hard to keep on swimming, under this frozen sea,
When you’re still not the person you tried so hard to be,
Why did you come here?
Why don’t you stay?
What made you run away?
I tried but I'm not better,
I tried but I'm not better,
I tried but I'm not better,
I tried but I'm not better
