it's just wrong the way you let them
they treat you like a fool
broken promises that they'll be cool
while you swim in shallow waters
give me back my pale fire
while you swim in shallow waters
give me back my pale fire
you belong where you believe
open your eyes so that you can grieve
if the ones you trusted most
while you swim in shallow waters
give me back my pale fire
while you swim in shallow waters
give me back my pale fire
give me back my pale fire
i was underneath your spell
i think you need a cup of tea
and it's on you to set them free
well it's not there at all
anywhere but in your head
i left the red pill by your cup
so go back now to your roots
back when you were just pale fire
jumping from a distant star
while you swim in shallow waters
give me back my pale fire
while you swim in shallow waters
give me back my pale fire
give me back my pale fire
