Skyscrapers
"I am your teacher.
I will read the words and you will read them after me.
Let's try it."
Five little kids and now there's just one.
I take caution in things I took for granted.
Entangled in a web that they made for you.
It wasn't built for two.

I tell myself that I'm not waiting.
Turning what was so simple and safe into a pool of black ice.
Everything familiar is sliding sideways and falling under the spell.
I tell myself that I'm not waiting, for you... to come down.
I think it's funny how time flies.
Come on down 'cause there's a better view from right here.
Come on down 'cause there's a better view from right here.
Come on down 'cause there's a better view from right here.
From right here.
Entangled in a web that they made for you.
It wasn't built for two.
Won't you come on down 'cause there's a better view from right here.
Come on down 'cause there's a better view from right here.
From right here.
