Cut Off

there are snakes that come through my window
there are spiders that crawl in my basement when i'm alone
in hope, i never close the shutters
in hope, i feed the pests

for years, there's been nothing
there's been nothing but you
for years, there's been nothing
but the feelings that no one gets

there are things that i see in the trees deep in forests
a thousand years old
and no one would dare to chase a fox when there's dogs in the cities
no one would follow a map when there's only one piece

for years, there's been nothing
there's been nothing but you
for years, there's been nothing
but the feelings that no one gets

you can't tell that this is a breakthrough, is a breakthrough
just because this is normal for you, normal for you
i'm so f*cking lost
i am cut off, i am cut off
i'm so f*cking dumb
i am cut off, i am cut off
