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.
