Blue Lyrics - Helium - Pram

In the hum of time you stand 

Frozen like a stopped clock's hands 

Wrapped in the things you wear for comfort 

Only your eyes show your terror 

Your chalky skin is thick but frail 

Like Egyptian paper 

And pent blood deafens your brain 

Till you think you've let the outside world in 

And you're like a star in the heaven 

That's cold bright and beautiful 

And just like a star in heaven 

You're so unreachable 

You imagine yourself a statue 

To be looked at with a price 

Around your neck to show how much you're worth 

And how you shouldn't be touched 

But you're made of flesh and yearnings 

Like all the rest of us around you 

No statue ever cried like you 

When your mother weaned you
