Lyrics

A shadow slips beneath the surface
I feel that something ain’t right here
I sense disturbance on the water
It must be feeding time
And all the critters are swimming away
From the circling and sharking above
You better make like the smallest of fry
Safely hidden below, you won’t know how low ’til you try
Why? Why are you running away
Out from the scramble and the fury
Emerging toothless and tired out
You never stopped to heed the warnings
Now the tides are calling time
So you can pray for that flame to return
But we all got to lose it to learn
Your blind ambition is harder than nails
But you don’t know the half of it, find out how hard you can fail
Hey! Why are you running away
A place to stay, a retreat from the fray
Blind in safety and leafy in love
Our rising stars meet glass ceilings above
Could they break for the sky?
You won’t know how high ’til you try
Why? Why are you turning away
