Even in buildings and still alleys, there is a sneaking threat breaking in
little like fog, a little like heat, too much like an invasion of my safety

(Breaking in) I don't know why the dogs are barking
(Breaking in) Or why the gates are shaking
(Breaking in) It's not just the roof settling
(Breaking in) What is it that has followed me?

I really do wish you had minded your eyes
and now a chain is been set off that can't be wound back up
and late in the night, there's a clanking and clanging of sound
Way too loud outside.

Eyes perpendicular to the gound, pulling the corners down even more
When they moved from top to bottom, a cringe came to catch up with me later on

(Take it back) When my [bad word] the things I say
(Take it back) Retreating back to what is safe
(Take it back) self-protection policy
(Take it back) In spite of all that it still has followed me

I really do wish you had minded your eyes
and now a chain is been set off that can't be wound back up
and late in the night, there's a clanking and clanging of sound
Way too loud outside

Black face and white wool...I'm counting but it doesn't help
And if you just had minded your eyes I wouldn't be so wound up as I'm winding down
and on my shelves, all my trinkets shoved aside for what's way to loud outside

The streers growing out strings
Tugging the line, subtracting the winks
Following something I'm hearing
Door will scare me, windows leave me blind
on the tips of my toes

(Following) Trailing the tracks between the grey and glistening
(Following) changing face loses shape
what is it that I'm following?

I really do wish you had minded your eyes
and now a chain is been set off that can't be wound back up
and late in the night, there's a clanking and clanging of sound
Way too loud outside

Black face and white wool...I'm counting but it doesn't help
And if you just had minded your eyes I wouldn't be so wound up as I'm winding down
and on my shelves, all my trinkets shoved aside for what's way to loud outside
