Lyrics

Intro

Keep your glow... keep your glow...

I watch from the tall grass...

Verse 1

Sixteen windows, burning bright

They never sleep, they drink the light

Steel rivers cutting through the sand

No paw prints where the tall things stand

You hurry past with eyes of glass

Counting minutes that never last

Your hands are glowing, cold and blue

Did you forget the sky is too?

Pre-Chorus

And I was here before your walls

Before the noise, before the calls

You paved the earth with your own hands

Now you can't walk on any lands

Chorus

You build so high you lose the ground

You speak so much — but make no sound

You cage the wild, then pay to see

Who's watching who from behind the tree?

(oh-oh, oh-oh)

Who's watching who?

Who's watching who?

Verse 2

You dress the earth in smoke and gold

You sell the air, you buy it cold

A feast for ten inside one bin

While others starve beyond the fence, within

You photograph the setting sun

But never once have watched it run

The colors that you crave at night

You painted over, out of sight

Pre-Chorus

And I was here before your chains

Before the fences, before the names

You call it order, call it tame —

But every cage you build's the same

Chorus

You build so high you lose the ground

You speak so much — but make no sound

You cage the wild, then pay to see

Who's watching who from behind the tree?

(oh-oh, oh-oh)

Who's watching who?

Who's watching who?

Bridge

Behind the glass you press your palm —

Small soft cages, cold and calm

You feed me pieces of your day

And call it love... and call it care

But the gate was never really there

I stay because the forest's gone

And you keep singing your victory song

Who's watching who...

Final Chorus

I built my home in your debris

You wonder why I don't run free

You cage the wild, then pay to see

Who's watching who from behind the tree?

(oh-oh, oh-oh)

Who's watching who?

Who's watching who?

Outro

Sixteen windows, burning bright

The tall grass trembles in the night

Keep your glow... keep your glow...

I'm still here.
