This is me - I'm in my own way
Sometimes mine is the darkest parade
The casting of pearls before swine
The piles of things I left behind
Eyes stare back down at me
How can a man made of dust become clean?

[Chorus]
Higher... Higher
Higher - Never closer!
Higher... Higher
Higher - (I)
just can't reach you!

Breathe on me - My windows all break
All this bleeding just for my sake
The day that I left you behind
Promised you still could be mine
Your eyes stare back down at me
How can a man made of dust become clean?

[repeat chorus
