They're On To Me - Ari Hest

The tile in the kitchen is cracking

The stairs through the basement are sinking

Somebody told me I’m crazy

Thinking past the limits of thinking

The crevice in the ceiling is rusting

Who knows when it will cave in?

The image of a broken heart bursting

In the window that mirrors my skin

I go walking through this city

Trying to avoid the sidewalk cracks

Every step I am taking

I fear I’m under attack

They’re on to me

And I am scared to no end

Once I had the control

Rules were there to bend

But now they’re on to me

And I don’t know how to get out, no

The thought never crossed my mind

Oh, yeah I’ve run out of time

The fire from the stove is blazing

Spreading throughout my home

I didn’t know what I was risking

Living here all alone

I could go out to the country

And hide there among the mountains

But sooner or later I’d grow thirsty

And wish I could drink from the fountains

I go walking through this city

Trying to avoid the sidewalk cracks

Every step I am taking

I fear I’m under attack

They’re on to me

And I am scared to no end

Once I had the control

Rules were there to bend

But now they’re on to me

And I don’t know how to get out, no

The thought never crossed my mind

Oh, I’ve run out of time

Out of time

Out of time

I go walking through this city

Trying to avoid the sidewalk cracks

Every step I am taking

Every step I am taking

Every step, every step

I fear I’m under attack

They’re on to me

And I am scared to no end

Once I had the control

Rules were there to bend

But now they’re on to me

And I don’t know how to get out, no

The thought never crossed my mind

Crossed my mind, Crossed my mind

Oh, I’ve run out of time
