Recorded in Silence Studio, Sweden

lyrics

In a cauldron I am on top,
Below me, what I fear I'm not
When we talk and pretend to connect
I do feel alone, and then I try to
Find the courage in my heart
But where I'm from, we are born without a back

Oh the cold in our waiting room
Well you know what I'm waiting for
When we talk I am taken aback
Oh I will be afraid although I know that
I have got no right to cry
But I did that when you told my heart to implode

I should have known what you were talking about
When you told me that I don't know pain
But I didn't, I couldn't cope with the fact

Oh the cold in our waiting room
Well you know what I'm hoping for
When we talk I am taken aback
Oh I will be afraid, and then I try to
Find the courage in my heart
But where I'm from, we are born without a back

I should have known what you were talking about
When you told me that I don't know pain
But I didn't, I couldn't cope with the fact
That you have felt what would cause any heart to collapse
